Is it time to scrap Test and Trace?

It could be nearing time to scrap or amend the way the Covid-19 test and trace system forces people to self-isolate, a Norfolk expert in infectious diseases has said - as pubs and restaurants are hit by staff shortages.
Zaks and The Wildman in Norwich are among venues which have had to temporarily close, after staff were told by the NHS Test and Trace app they had been in contact with someone who tested positive.
And there are growing calls for the government to shift to a testing system which monitors whether staff are still negative, so they can keep working.
