NHS Test and Trace

NHS Test and Trace is a public health service in England that helps identify and reduce the spread of COVID-19. When someone tests positive, the service contacts them to determine who they've been in close contact with recently. Those contacts are then notified, advised to self-isolate, and may get tested themselves. The program supports early detection and reduces transmission, protecting individuals and communities. It also provides guidance on precautions and vaccination information, contributing to overall efforts to manage and control the pandemic effectively.
