Urgent: NHS COVID-19 Test and Trace app: NHS QR code and poster for close contact services in England and Wales

Latest information sent from CNHC:

The NHS COVID-19 Test and Trace app launches on 24 September 2020 for England and Wales. A NHS QR code and official NHS poster is available.

The NHS COVID-19 app has a feature that allows users to quickly and easily ‘check in’ to your premises by scanning the code. The information stays on the user’s phone. In England, you do not have to ask people who choose to ‘check in’ using the official NHS QR code to provide their contact details for the purposes of Test and Trace. If there is an outbreak associated with your premises, a message will be sent to the relevant app users with the necessary public health advice.

The updated UK Government guidance for maintaining records for Test and Trace can be found here.
