.....have any sort of equivalent of our awful 'track and trace pingdemic' nonsense.

Here we get called to make sure we are isolating but no pinging

Why are you isolating?

[Peter Pedant]

and where is here

That happens in the UK too: there’s the manual test and trace which legally obliges you to self isolate in which case you are supposed to be checked up on.

[tomus42]

No-one gets checked up on to see that they're self isolating. There's a shortage of checker uppers on account that they've all been pinged and and fancy a couple of weeks off themselves.

Son-in-law has deleted his, and daughter switches hers off, since he was 'pinged' a week ago regarding a time when he had been at home all day!

[Hopkirk]

Janzman is correct. If you scan the QR code at a premises you stay logged in there until midnight, unless you scan in somewhere else.

[ichkeria]

Janzman is incorrect as previously stated.
The app won’t “ping” you just because you’ve visited the same place on the same day. How could it?

However that is why I wondered what happens with manual test and trace: that might well cop you for self isolation, which would be daft, and moreover legally enforceable, unlike the app.

[ichkeria]

What I meant was Janzman need not fear being “pinged” as a result. He is of course correct about the codes.
