Pubs and restaurants are responsible for a third of UK coronavirus cases

The NHS Covid-19 app has reportedly sent out just one alert about a coronavirus outbreak in a venue despite millions of check-ins having been logged in its system.

The alert reads: ‘We are letting you know that you may have been exposed to coronavirus when you were out.’It tells users there is only a ‘small risk’ they have been infected but encourages them to look out for symptoms and keep following social distancing rules. The app has issued alerts for other types of contact with infected people, such as in the workplace, although some employers have been discouraging their staff from using it.
