Brilliantly my wife has been pinged by the NHS app, wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact that we have a newborn, so that means we have to cancel a load of follow up baby appointments for a week.
You only *have* to isolate if you've been contacted by NHS T&T.
A ping from the app is just advisory although it does make sense to follow it too.
If you were minded to you could keep to yourselves for a couple of days and then all (or at least your wife) get a PCR test and then hole up again until you get the results of those.
(If I got a ping from the app I'd isolate, but that's because I've been to several pubs, played 5-a-side for an hour with 9 others, been to the gym/pool, the supermarket, etc all multiple times in the last few days, so I'd have no reason to doubt being pinged. I'd feel differently if the only place I'd been in 4 or 5 days was a vaccination clinic.)

Annoyingly the only place she has been is to the NHS vaccination centre, so she must have got a contact there, which is slightly odd, as she was in and out in 25 mins, and said that the social distancing was always well maintained.
