Contact Tracing
Millions of people in the UK will soon be asked to track their movements to limit the spread of coronavirus
Contact tracing is a method used to slow down the spread of infectious outbreaks. It is commonly used in sexual health clinics, when infected patients are told to contact anyone with whom they have been intimate.
In the coronavirus pandemic, it means tracking down anyone sufferers have been in prolonged contact with, to potentially ask them to self-isolate.
Contact tracing is already being used extensively by various countries hit by coronavirus, including Hong Kong, Singapore and Germany.
