Mrs BB and I had a very pleasant long weekend in Copenhagen with friends last weekend, and obviously filled out a passenger locator form on our return. On Friday all our group received a text from ‘NHStrace’ which we all assumed to be a scam because it wasn’t ‘NHS Trace’ or even ‘NHS Test and Trace’ and the link it asked you to follow had an equally suspicious spelling. The text was saying we ‘must isolate’ until we had a negative PCR test unless we were exempt. I received a reminder today and decided to follow the instructions.
Well, blow me down, it was legitimate, despite the poor spelling and dodgy link. Having put in my details it thankfully confirmed that i did not need to isolate but ‘should’ (not ‘must’) take a PCR, so I followed that link to be told that I ‘didn’t qualify’ for a PCR. All very confusing for me with a ‘reasonable’ level of education so goodness knows how the great unwashed are supposed to understand it!
In the feedback section I suggested that they might want to reword their communications!
