Test and Trace in England hits another low with just 58% of contacts reached – BBC News
The Test and Trace scheme in England has had its worst-performing week since the beginning of July, when it comes to reaching the contacts of those infected in the community.
The tracing team only reached 58% of contacts of those testing positive in the first week of October.
Meanwhile people working at one coronavirus testing laboratory have told of their concerns about safety standards.
One scientist who worked at the Milton Keynes Lighthouse Lab claimed staff were being put at risk.
The Health and Safety Executive has found breaches in safety following the claims. The company which runs the laboratory says it has strict safety measures in place and the government said it regularly reviews and inspects the labs it uses.

Billionaire Man Utd owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says club has âcome off the railsâ | BBC News
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire co-owner of Manchester United, has told BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan that the football club has âcome off the railsâ.
The 72-year-old spent ÂŁ1.3 billion buying a 29% stake in the club in 2024, in a deal which saw Ineos take control of football operations. Ratcliffe, a lifelong Manchester United fan, is chairman of the petrochemicals company which has a big sport investment arm.
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport earlier this month Ratcliffe addressed the side’s recent struggles on the pitch, as they languish in the bottom third of the Premier League table.
He said some Manchester United players are “not good enough” and some are “overpaidâ. Midfielder Casemiro, striker Rasmus Hojlund, goalkeeper Andre Onana, and wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho – who are on loan at other clubs – were name-checked by the billionaire as players his regime had “inherited”.
Ratcliffe also spoke of the club’s financial difficulties, saying it was set to run out of money by the end of 2025, unless it took action which he admitted was “unpopular”.
Yet despite the financial and team issues he referred to, Ratcliffe repeated a pledge that Manchester United would win silverware by 2028.

Today, we look at the fall out after a journalist revealed that he had been mistakenly added to a groupchat where US security leaders were discussing air strikes in Yemen.
Many of the security officials on the Signal app chat have been testifying at a worldwide threat assessment hearing in the Senate.
Adam is joined by BBC chief presenter in Washington CaitrĂona Perry and former Pentagon top US government security official Celeste Wallander.
Plus, a lawyer investigating former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has found “credible evidence” he and his staff mistreated two female team members. He denies the allegations. Chris is on to explain whatâs happening.

President Trump has launched a blistering attack on the journalist who was added to a group chat by the administration’s top security officials, who then discussed top-secret war plans about an attack on Yemen.
Mr Trump called Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic magazine, “a total sleazebag” and tried to play down the significance of the security breach.
The White House had earlier confirmed that Mr Goldberg was inadvertently added to the insecure Signal chat in which leading US national security officials and the Vice-President debated and planned the military assault on Houthi rebels.
Mr Goldberg read Signal messages between Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among other senior officials.. He saw details of classified military plans for the US strikes two hours before they began, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timings.
Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from the White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.
Senior Democrats called the blunder “one of the most stunning military breaches of recent times” and officials involved were grilled by the Congress about their actions.
“The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
On 15 March the US launchedwhat it described as a “decisive and powerful” series of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Four days earlier, on 11 March, Atlantic editor-in-chief Goldberg says he received the connection request on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account that purported to be Mr Waltz’s. Signal is used by journalists and Washington officials because of the secure nature of its communications, the ability to create aliases, and to send disappearing messages.
Two days later, Goldberg said he was added to a Signal chat entitled “Houthi PC small group.” A number of accounts that appeared to belong to cabinet members and national security officials were included in the 18-person chat, Goldberg reported. Accounts labelled “JD Vance”, the name of the vice-president; “Pete Hegseth,” the defence secretary; and “John Ratcliffe,” director of the Central Intelligence Agency; were among names in the chain.
Top national security officials from various agencies also appeared in it, including Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Please pay attention to the overly heard sentence: 'Safety is our number 1 priority.'
The issues i can see are two:
1. Most humans still learn things mnemonically. So, i am not surprised they just repeat this sentence without appreciating what it really means.
2. Health and Education are two sectors where there should not be space for companies. Look at many universities: they are run as companies but under the banner of charities!
The last comment i like to make, which i learned only recently from a French blogger, is: CAPITALISM in NOT fully compatible with DEMOCRACY.
And this might be one reason why we have these sort of issues.
How to solve this fundamental flaw is way beyond my reach.
All i can say is that i like aspects of both CAPITALISM and DEMOCRACY.
Thanks

I guess people are realizing that this contact tracing is nothing but nonsense designed to force control of people. What absolute garbage you keep pushing! And all of this while the WHO has told countries to STOP with Lock Downs! You are really getting it wrong! And we know positive test does not mean people are actually sick with the almost completely unreliable PCR tests…
