What has that got to do with anything?

Install this app, and when you get a notification that you've been in proximity to someone else you have to isolate for 14 days. Even if you know you haven't left the house in over a week, the app says you did. Choose to ignore it? The Dept of Health says you can be fined £1,000 or more but Hancock says it's advisory, so who do you believe, and can you afford to argue? At least manual contact tracing can apply common sense to decide between low risk or close (high risk) contacts
