I think it's only an advisory message telling you about it. No app is downloaded until it is ready, and you actually download it.

Thanks Mo.

Large outbreak in Germany over 1000 at a meat processing factory 7000 work on site. They are still testing so maybe even more.
Not looking good for the July 4th maybe looking even more of a gamble.

Even the man with the sat's is not connived it's a good idea.

Sir Ian Diamond, the UK's National Statistician, says there has been a "steady decline" in coronavirus cases right across the country, but "not as fast perhaps as many of us would have liked".
He tells the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that "we're moving into a new phase" but that "the virus certainly hasn't gone away".
"We need to move into a period of surveillance and real vigilance to identify any outbreaks and move to get on top of them really quickly," he says.
Prof Diamond says there are still around 3,000 new infections a day, which is a relatively low level, but fresh outbreaks have already occurred in places like Anglesey.
"My own belief is that this virus is going to be with us for a long time. We need to be quick in acting to ensure we don't get a large second wave."
Around 3.5 million people have had Covid-19 or have natural antibodies against the disease, he said.

It's more than a message. It's the Google/Apple Exposure functions, ready for apps to use as long as they obey Google's and Apple's rules.

158 cases at a welsh chicken processing factory.

thats a big localised outbreak.

"Incidents like this show the potential for pockets of asymptomatic undiagnosed infection in the community, highlighting the importance of the adherence to social distancing and hygiene measures."Dr Johnson said rapid test and trace facilities had "helped identify this situation" and said health teams would keep measures in place to "bring the outbreak to a rapid conclusion".

Some pocket! If a plant can have 158 asymptomatic cases, what about their families and their contacts in Anglesey? What else is out there amongst the untested community awaiting the rest of us post-lockdown?

I thought I'd escaped but just checked and there it was.

I'd hate to think that public health policy is being driven by Wetherspoons.

Think it's more like public health by plastic spoon.

Chuffing heck. If that's Germany then imagine how bad it'd be elsewhere.

Seems to be a lesson of late that processing factories is one that needs a rethink and more preventative testing resources. In any country.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth...
