In the three weeks since the system launched on May 28, some 20,968 people in England tested positive for Covid-19 and were logged by contact tracers. Yet a further 5,062 people who tested positive couldn't be reached despite having contact details. It means more than 5,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus and no one they saw, sat with or talked to has been ordered to go into isolation. When the scheme first launched, Test and Trace boss Dido Harding admitted it was not yet at the "gold" standard she'd hoped.
