Well, I've just had the email saying we have to register with the nhs test and trace app when arriving on site. As a couple we own standard old school phones which don't have the app facility so are we now discriminated against and can't enjoy our hobby?

On the sites we've been on since the scan thing came out, we have either been given it on a piece of paper when we checked in, or it was displayed at reception, on one site it was also displayed just inside the toilet block. All but one site asked at check in if we were using it.

I don't know how successful or not the app will prove to be but at least it will help slow the spread of Covid in some cases.
Posted on 30/10/2020 07:01 by CompoDoes anyone know of anyone being contacted by track and trace because they have been in contact with an infected person on a caravan and motorhome campsite as a result of scanning the QR code, or is that too difficult for the technology to work out.

Does it ask for any personal information when you scan the QR code? I've not had occasion to use it and have only put the first part of my post code into the App. I assumed that you would be contacted by the App if there were positive tests linked to that code at a similar time, based on some complicated algorithm and test / trace would not be involved.

From what I have found online, it seems the incidence of positive tests at a venue would be flagged to test and trace, who would then decide wether to instruct the App to inform others that had checked in at a similar time. They don't know who those folk are of course, so it would be the App that contacts you with instructions what to do. Although if you had sat close / long enough to anyone with the App, who reported a positive test, the App may already have told you to self isolate.
