Just received a message from the app... Says something about exposed to someone who has tested positive... Then pull down to read the notification and it goes... 

Appears it doesn't actually mean anything... https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/what-possible-covid-19-exposure-19015430

Although the message doesn't read like a message that means nothing...

standing by to get this message several times then .... thanks for posting this ... its likely ill get several pings but no isolation due to time period

That's the one - according to a couple of news stories I've found means carry on as you are. A former workmate told me today the app had told him to self isolate, turns out it was the same message and he has misinterpreted it and  is now free to leave the house and relieved.

I’ve had this message twice in the last 2 days, but I’m in a covid hotspot

So basically it means you’ve come into contact and it will ping again if it deems that contact to be enough time and close enough to isolate

You wouldn’t believe what appeared when I googled ‘pictures of nice cocks’ looking for an image to reply to your post. 😁.

I think if you need to take action it will tell you in the app, this is more of a notifications that I've been near someone who has tested positive (and has the code to enter) but either not close enough or for long enough to do anything. That could be in the gym or in a super market.

What a crap message.

I think it's also designed to show when the app is using your data as well for a bit of reassurance.

That's my take on it. I got the message but my partner didn't the only places I have been where she hasn't is the local shop and for a beer with our boy back end of last week. 

See what happens I guess.

A BBC Presenter portraying the PM as a ‘wartime leader’ is a joke. Parroting the party line for the Tories when in reality there is nothing even remotely close to being a leader for this PM let alone a wartime one.

Likely lots more of this to look forward to.

I got one of those notifications yesterday but didn't really worry because I'd only done a quick dash in and out of the shop once since having the app, so presumed it didn't entail any exposure enough to count as "close contact".

I still went straight to the web to check it out though, and found that same story. Apparently if you need to self-isolate that is made very clear on the app and automatically activates some kind of countdown or timer? 

I think that common notification that many seem to be getting could be worded a tad differently, but it is good to know the app is "working" for me.

I mean I had low expectations but yeah he was a total c**t. It was embarrassing to watch really. The chair barely had control over it.

I don’t know if this has been shared, it may be that these notifications are about exposure below the 900 point threshold.

Yep that's what I figured. This image is a helpful illustration though, thanks!

If you go into the phone setting it you will see the number of keys passed of people positive then the numbers matched

Are we meant to ‘check in’ to a supermarket via a QR code or will the app automatically pick up where we are going?

That’s a very good question ... I asked why my supermarket didn’t have a qr code displayed today? Didn’t get an answer  ... have you seen these displayed at a supermarket then ? If so which one ? As I thought it was a legal requirement now !!

I don’t think shops have to have them, it’s leisure venues.

No, there were no codes at any shop last time I went. I thought there should be?

M&S has their own QR code you check in via that’s not connected to the NHS app.

No, but it's always scanning anyway. I think.

 

I find it interesting it shows unchecked into a pub...at 17:30, it puts it's end time as 00:00 (because you don't have to check out / can't check out) but the pubs close at 22:00.
