Matt Hancock to self-isolate after receiving alert via NHS Covid-19 app
The UK health secretary, Matt Hancock, has said he is self-isolating after receiving an alert through the NHS Covid-19 app. In a video posted on Twitter, he said: ‘Last night I was pinged by the NHS coronavirus app, so that means I’ll be self-isolating at home, not leaving the house at all until Sunday.

‘This self-isolation is perhaps the most important part of all the social distancing because I know from the app I’ve been in close contact with somebody who has tested positive and this is how we break the chains of transmission.’

Test an trace app failed so whats the point
My manager found out today that her 93 year old neighbour died at the weekend. She had a heart attack. Never been ill before then, it's been marked down that it was covid related even though she'd never been ill or previously tested positive. Honestly, I don't trust the numbers in the slightest.
Liar
He caught it before. Obviously not following the rules
Now he has been to close to someone else who has it.
When is this baffoon going to resign. He is an embarrassment to the conservative party
when banks decide to print money from thin air, nations will then turn into it.
I presume those attending yesterday's press conference will be isolating? Who will they put forward for the next conference bully Patel or liar and waffler Boris? All they need is JVT on his who at least explains and seems to tell the truth, not lies after lies.
Hancock the lying vaccine salesman
I thought anyone testing positive must self isolate for 14 days?
He's alright. Got a dog. Its the Guardian I'm suspicious of. Run by 'foreigners'…
Dude I know your at home so can be more casual when addressing people, but can you do it off the toilet.
6 days? That's not even a week. Are the deducting the time that has already passed since he was with the infected person? Did they notify people he was around for that period of time? Should he not have to get a test?
This man is utterly disgusting
Can we make it more than 6 days ?
Thought self isolation was 10 days. My nhs alert said 10 days. How does his equate to even a week?
This guy needs to be held accountable. Disgusting
Matthew next time you see Klaus, tell him the deals off, the UK wants nothing to do with the "Great Reset"!!!
Lockdown and isolation are used in prisons as extreme methods of control and punishment
You would seriously be my first choice for the vaccine. You had it yet Hanprick?
Hangcock
Come on Matt (not Nick), nobody’s taking you seriously especially after your milquetoast response to the grilling Piers Morgan gave you over the free school meals you were apparently “delighted about” but voted against. Not that anyone took you seriously before of course.
Damage limitation after his dreadful speech yesterday.
