More pinged workers eligible for daily Covid tests instead of isolation
- popularly known as pings - advising people to self-isolate for up to 10 days were sent from the NHS Covid-19 app in England and Wales in the week to 15 July.
Tesco is understood to be working through the details of the new scheme, while Morrisons said it was contacting staff who had been pinged to sign up for testing on a voluntary basis, but did say that it was ready to start. When all 2,000 testing sites are open, 800 will deal with food industry, transport and Border Force workers, as well as police and fire services.
