25,000 recruited ahead of launch of coronavirus test and trace system

The system, which involves tracing and advising people who may have come into close contact with someone testing positive for the virus, is set to launch at the end of this week. The Government has been aiming for human contact tracers to be in place for June 1 – the earliest date for opening schools and non-essential shops in England. A No 10 spokesperson said on Saturday: “A test and trace system allows us to isolate new infections so that we can control the spread of this virus, which will be vital while coronavirus remains present in the UK. “By working with our tracers and complying with the rules, the public will avoid unknowingly spreading the virus to their family and loved ones and this new test and trace service will help to control coronavirus.”
