Read our privacy policy Ministers have finally revealed a long-demanded “exit strategy” from the coronavirus lockdown with a plan to recruit an army of 18,000 people to trace and isolate infected people – allowing restrictions to be eased, they hope. Five weeks after the World Health Organisation urged all nations to “test, test, test” – a plea rejected by the UK at the time – it was announced that the mass contact tracing programme would begin “in a matter of weeks”. “With 18,000 people being recruited – alongside widespread testing – we have a clear exit route from the current lockdown and our approach comes much closer to global best practice.” However, Mr Hancock – bruised by the likely failure to carry out 100,000 daily tests by his deadline of the end of April – was careful not to set a strict target for the new programme getting underway. “So, the lower the rate of new cases, the more effectively you can keep it down using test, track and trace rather than having to use heavier social-distancing measures.” Jonathan Ashworth, Labour’s shadow health secretary, criticised “confusion” at the heart of government, pointing out the deputy chief medical officer, Jenny Harries, had dismissed the idea only days ago.
