Ah but if others also have their phones with the app active in adjacent lockers then all your phones will think you’ve been in close contact all day.

Indeed and many work places will have canteens that need to open through the night.

I hadn't seen the update. Notice it was a choice following public exposure. We don't get that choice.

Apparently Jon Ashworth has raised in the HoC the suggestion of having an app which tells you the COVID restrictions in the area you are in.
Sounds a really simple, good idea.
You could have an app which downloaded all the latest UK wide restrictions every day and then told you the restrictions that apply based on your home location and your current location. Seems quite a nice idea to help out as different areas go into different lockdown restrictions.

The current one tells you that in a way.

Your test was on a far faster track than the ONS survey seems to be. I will have completed 4 weekly tests by midday today, so after 28 days I still haven't heard a thing. I did hear a suggestion that testing capacity in London has been reduced while the need is greater elsewhere.
On the main page of the app is a button to switch off T&T, use it and it asks if you want a reminder in 4, 8 or 12 hours to switch back on.
Same function is also useful when at home as battery saver. E.g. overnight.
I'll only have it switched on when out and about in busy areas. E.g. not on my 3 hour country walk yesterday.

Erm yes, hence why I said if active.
No it's not.
We ate out numerous times during the scheme- not once in a crowded restaurant. All the places we chose (pubs to restaurants) had good social distancing and other covid precautions
Plonkers chose to eat in crowded restaurants.

Even with good precautions, which certainly were not everywhere, eating indoors in the same space as strangers is a high risk activity. Perhaps not high enough to ban, but certainly high enough not to subsidize, especially with the risk that subsidy brings crowding.

But then you won't be told if the guy who sits watching you sleep tests positive!

They still got paid too, so the previous post was correct and yours wasn't!
We have to see past distancing when eating indoors you can have all the spaced out tables you want. But how many have air con that just pusher the air round and round. We have well documented cases of outbreak all down to air con and poor ventilation. At the time of eat out to help out we had no way near the right enforcement of measures in place many placers as now just gave it lip service. Also universal mask use inside restaurants was every hit and miss only now has it been made a requirement.
Which ever way you look at eating in doors is a risk and should be limited it was pretty fool hardy back then to encourage it given testing and contact tracing was just not up to job never mind anything else.
