LONDON, July 10 (NNN-AGENCIES) — In the first five weeks of England’s Test and Trace system, 144,501 people were asked to self-isolate after coming into contact with someone who had tested positive for coronavirus, new figures show.

This was 85% out of a total of 169,863 identified close contacts.

The remaining 15% – some 25,362 people – were identified as close contacts, but were not reached by contact tracers.

Some of these people could not be reached because no communication details had been provided for them. — NNN-AGENCIES
