Looks like a brilliant read. — PolitiTweet.org

In Germany they’re recruiting 5 contact tracers for every 20,000 people. In Singapore they deploy the army. In Korea they involve every part of national and local government. All use hybrid combinations of feet on the street, phoning and tech to stop the virus in its tracks. — PolitiTweet.org

The logistical challenge shouldn’t be underestimated; this is bigger than building the Nightingales or PPE distribution. But the definition of success is simple: can anyone with symptoms get a test in 24 hours? And can we trace 80-90% of their contacts in the following 24 hours? — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

But we need to see more detail: will it be centrally co-ordinated by PHE or led locally by councils? Will we have a senior leader to manage the programme given PHE and DH leadership are already working round the clock? What will the balance be between tech & traditional methods? — PolitiTweet.org

No one can reasonably expect governments to have a crystal ball with a brand new virus, so full credit to the government for being willing to learn from international best practice, first on ramping up testing and now on mass contact tracing. — PolitiTweet.org

This is encouraging news and will give hope to business that a sustainable route out of lockdown is emerging. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a good point. I wish we had interrogated the learnings from Asian countries’ response to SARS more deeply in retrospect. Undoubtedly there will be many lessons to learn — PolitiTweet.org

Very powerful thread on why mass community testing and contact tracing is the key to ending the lockdown. Key new fact is that Korean economy is still growing at 1%... — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I think the implication of this answer is that the govt agrees about contact tracing in theory but is not yet convinced about the need to do it in the next two weeks - or appoint a big hitter to make it happen. I will keep trying... https://t.co/Mv2mBxnR41 — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic news amidst the gloom that Nazanin won’t be going back to prison just yet. But why not go the whole way Iran and allow this brave, innocent lady to go home to her family? #FreeNazanin — PolitiTweet.org

This is such a tragedy. Vital we investigate each case to see what/if there’s anything that could have been done to protect them better. I know huge efforts are going on, but this must a top priority. We owe them that. https://t.co/EajVYLVhDo — PolitiTweet.org

Please @Tesco and Booker, don't forget the smaller, rural village shops that you supply. They are a lifeline for many at risk people and are struggling to get the urgent stock they need from you for their loyal customers like two in my constituency @dunsfold_shop @hambledonshop https://t.co/OdbDhnFjxD — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone talks about testing...but to work testing needs to be accompanied by quarantining and contact tracing. This is an excellent summary of international best practice https://t.co/SitlNQy87Q — PolitiTweet.org
