Yes. Really. This monumental mistake saw yesterday's daily cases jump to a record high of 22,961.
PHE said the missing cases were transferred to NHS Test and Trace ‘immediately’ after the issue was noted and all cases were passed on to tracers by 1am on Saturday.
But the error means tens of thousands of people, who should have been told to self-isolate after coming into contact with an infected person, are only now being contacted by tracers.Boris Johnson was unable to say how many contacts of positive coronavirus cases had been missed as a result of the error. He said: ‘I can’t give you those figures.
He said the updated figures meant that the prevalence of the virus was where experts had expected it to be and it would soon be apparent if extra restrictions were having the intended impact.
