It has just been reported on Andrew Marr that this is being offered to TFL, Border Force and many others if they are rang by Test and Trace, not available if you are only pinged by the App. Those on this pathway have to test daily.

Apparently lots of the ministers (maybe even all) have "signed up" to the pilot.

Certainly the Cabinet Office and Downing Street have signed up. Downing Street has a "Special Testing Centre" set up there.

Strangely enough, Michael Gove was also selected for this pilot, on his return from a football match in Portugal ...

They are taking part in a pilot study doing tests every day, and only going to and from work. Funny the pilot study should have recruited them? ???

Apparently Johnson and Sunak are not self isolating despite being pinged after contact with Javid, according to the guardian today. I suspect that probably means others will consider it optional?
