STAFF at an Isle of Wight primary school have been asked to turn off the NHS Test and Trace app, as so many staff are self-isolating and it would prevent more getting the alert to stay at home. The County Press contacted the Isle of Wight Council following a tip-off from a concerned member of staff at Nine Acres Primary School in Newport. The council confirmed guidance had been given about 'pausing' the app in certain circumstances. A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Council said: “Nine Acres Primary School confirms that 14 members of the staffing community are currently self-isolating having been contacted by the NHS test and trace app, and two staff members have tested positive for Covid-19.
