The govt's approach to test, trace and isolate has been tactical and focused on specific commitments like 100K tests, 18K contact tracers and an NHS app (1)
a coherent strategy on test, trace and isolate is urgently needed showing how testing will work at scale and the results used to trace contacts and support people who isolate (2)
The strategy must be supported by a detailed implementation plan with milestones on precisely what will be delivered when (3)
The strategy and plan can only be delivered effectively if local NHS and council leaders are involved fully in the design and implementation of test, trace and isolate (4)
This has started to happen thru @didoharding @tomriordan and @BWCHBoss and they must be given time to do whatever is needed (5)
it would be irresponsible of the govt to relax the lockdown further until we can be confident that test, trace and isolate is in place in every part of England and ready to go (6)
