Coronavirus: What is the UK-test-track-and-trace strategy?

Nov 11,2023 8:21 am

, The British "test track-and-trace" Corona-Virus strategy is rolled Out - with the National Health Service important-App is everything-is finally live.

the people on The Isle of Wight will be asked to download to smartphones in a pilot project to test how well it works.

The App is designed to alert to a possible contact to coronavirus, and is part of the government's three-part plan, the Form, how and when the UK leaves lockdown.

The strategy, the three objectives:

The three parts, the say closely connected in relationship with the experts: the success depends on all elements working.

part one: Test to discover people a virus

The government reached its target of 100,000 tests A Day from The End of April - But that number includes Test-kits sent Out in the post.

Actually, daily tests fell Back To around 80,000 per day since then.

Only The Following persons and groups:

you will either get a test At Home or are asked to go to a drive-through Test Website.

The government has also promised mobile units and other facilities on NHS premises.

The Test involves swabbing the inside of The Nose and at the back of the throat with a special cotton swab.

curing, then take the swab for analysis.

Three "mega-laboratories", in Glasgow, Milton Keynes and Cheshire, processing, tens of thousands of tests per day.

results should be returned within 48 Hours or 72 Hours for the Home kits.

part two: Tracking how and where The Virus is in motion

The government is recruiting 20,000 house is to be regularly tested, in the whole of the UK coronavirus with Ministers in the hope of ultimately of 300,000, takes part.

volunteers will be tested every week for The First five weeks, And Then every month for a year.

you also answered further questions from health workers.

Some of these will also be tested for antibodies.

This is the proof of immunity against coronavirus, according to the infection.

The study should vital data, such as Corona Virus is moving through the population.

And the results will have influence on the decisions about social distancing and blocking.

It is by the Ministry of health and The Office for National statistics, with advice from the University of Oxford-science learning and the support of a Data Science company that IQVIA UK and The National Biosample centre in Milton Keynes .

part three: people can be infected with

The NHS's digital research division, NHSX, has developed a smartphone App .

It warns the people potentially exposed to someone with the coronavirus.

The App Bluetooth : a wireless technology with the devices in close proximity to each other.

As a user in the proximity of another phone, the App , The Other phone has been registered ' s presence.

When an App user developed coronavirus symptoms, register those with the App , and it warns those that The Other App users.

In Theory , that means that you get an early warning you can have been infected.

epidemiologist Prof Christophe Fraser, who have worked on the App , told Bbc News the aim was to link The System to the results of tests, for a more detailed coverage of the population.

Less than a fifth of the population of Singapore are believed to have installed his version of tracing-App - that means that the success is difficult to measure.

Similar concerns have been raised in other countries.

"If you install Your Friends , relatives and colleagues of the App , you need a group of people who are protected," said Prof Fraser.

"For this engagement solely to the control of an epidemic, you would have to download about 60% of the population, and note.

"On The Other hand, we are not proposing that this system should work alone.

"If this intervention is in addition to other methods, you need a lower intake. "

The App watchdog any personal data to other users - But The Information Commissioner, UK data protection, says The Details should be in the phones is not in the "Central".

Other experts have warned of the infection, because the Bluetooth technology could link mobile phones to the people who were, in fact, a safe distance apart.

Apple, Google, and others have proposed a different system, where the data is "decentralized" and processed by users " mobile phones.

the men behind this system say that it gives the users more control over their data. The NHS says that a centralized system offers more insight into which to perform The Virus is Spread and how good is the App .

Manual contact tracing

in addition to the App , the government, the recruitment of 18,000 "Tracer" is.

you interview people, be positive to find Out who you will definitely in the vicinity - such as family, neighbors or colleagues.

These contacts can then explicitly recommended to isolate themselves, due to the High Risk that they are infected, give The Virus fewer opportunities to Spread .
