Many eyes will be on England over the next few weeks I think. Health secretary Sajid Javid recently tested positive. The PM and the "finance guy" both got pinged by the NHS close contact app, BUT they have been exempted from isolation because they are part of the pilot for the daily rapid flow tests

Quote:
Downing Street is one of 20 organisations, including other government departments, Transport for London and Network Rail, which are part of a workplace testing study in which participants can test daily at work rather than stay at home.
Organisations taking part have to have an asymptomatic testing site set up. Individuals who have been “pinged” after being in contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid can go to work on the basis that they are using lateral flow tests, but must self-isolate when not at work.
The organisations known to be part of the trial have given their consent to be identified, according to No 10, which added that a full list would be published after the results have been recorded.

Just looked up what a lateral flow test is.... is this a joke??? Imagine having to do this before starting work each morning.
