My nightmare with NHS app after positive Covid test – Yorkshire Post Letters

STARTING to feel unwell last Saturday, I had a Covid test on Sunday (very quick and efficient).

My results came through 22 hours after my test and I was positive.

I’m thinking: what are people complaining about?

Shortly after, I received a 
text from NHS England with a link to put my details on for “track and trace”. This link didn’t work at all.

I did advise my GP that I had Covid as I’d been in the surgery last Tuesday.

He supplied me with a different link, this again didn’t work.

No wonder this is spreading so rapidly as I’m sure many others must have the same problems.

As it is nearly Halloween, it should be renamed “trick or treat”.

EMERGENCIES like the current pandemic bring out the best and worst in people, and in my family’s case it has proved to be the best.

I am 88 and my wife is 84. One neighbour ensures we get the daily paper and another does a mid week shop for anything we need. Every weekend my daughter and her husband come over from York to bring the main weekly shopping. We consider ourselves to be blessed indeed.
