Presumably they ask the person who's tested positive.
Do you know the name of everyone you are in the vicinity of?

Since we're only allowed to spend time in close contact with our own household, it's pretty pointless at the minute. Everyone else is supposed to be 2m or more away from you.
The tracers don't tell the isolaters who it is who's contracted the virus.
So potential to merk a load of people you don't really like by saying "oh aye, I was with him the other day" when you weren't and force them to be locked away for a fortnight on £90 a week. Not that I would encourage such behaviour.

Fair.Yep.
If you test positive you will now get a call or email from the Tracers. They will ask for movements over x amount of days and ask if you have spent more than 15 mins with someone. If you have and know them they will ask for their contact details. They will then contact them and tell them they have to isolate. If you are spending time of more than 15 mins and you don't know them you either hate your workmates or a bit clingy in Asda
I remember meeting Gavvy W last week, just over 15 mins and he insisted on shaking my hand...
That was my understanding too - that's how it works in Korea. The app knows who has been near others by gps etc.I thought the entire point was that everyone with the app can then be informed who they have been in contact with using the app GPS records?
People who don't have the app won't get alerts.

Fair.
My thinking was if you're sat on a busy train, bus or tube for 15+ mins with dozens of people.

We are using something far more primitive.
I'm shocked.
That's why Boris has said that they need 50% of the population to have the app for it to be effective.Not everyone is going to have the app though, you can't rely on it when it's coverage is going to be difficult to establish.
If I went somewhere without my phone I'd be completely missed from the search if it was the sole tool at their disposal, same if someone's battery had died or if you had someone with an incompatible/non-existent mobile phone.
