• So all asymptomatic people that tested positive were in contact with someone that did to get a test, were part of workplace testing programs, or fibbed they had symptoms to get tested and genuinely had it?

    Just wondering as one of the criticisms on the T&T was not always lack of testing, but lack of targeted testing and follow up, throwing more tests at that won't fix that.

    This is just a summary of findings.

    Pretty awkward for whomever said "Don't waste Covid tests you must have symptoms" 😁

    Separate from the main test and trace system there is an ONS survey where people are randomly* selected and tested. This data is from that.

  • Yep, we're doing that. Get tested every Thursday. Think @Greenbank is too.

  • Ah, tx!

    They thought 40% of people with corona don't have symptoms, looks it could be even higher.

    Looks like the ONS doesn't do as much research in NI, but they are working with Oxford uni to get covid data here.
