Can rules be changed in social bubbles for children with additional needs? asks Katie from Preston 'The more successful the test and trace scheme is, the more we'll safely be able to relieve other lockdown measures,' replies Matt Hancock

The test to find out if you currently have the virus involves taking a swab up the nose and the back of the throat

The government has announced that in the 24 hours up to 09:00 BST today, 197,007 tests were carried out or posted out and 1,266 tests were positive. But it turns out that we also don’t know exactly how many people have tested positive because people who have been tested twice may well come out as positive twice and the system does not always notice the duplication.

BBCPolitics 'world-class' See, proof that politicians don't live in the real world; they live in their own tiny world 🤣🤣

Wouldn’t it be nice if the media actually acknowledged the hardwork the government have done instead of constantly criticising.....the media are the problem 😡😡😡😡😡

JelenaPopovic_E I guess we'll see.

Civic Duty...

bbc5live Whatever Hancock says, the opposite is normally correct. His track record is not great

a lot of predictions there - will this and will that. A lot of wills. listenwithhancock 💀👓

My tourettes is kicking in badly... He can go Fk himself, lying bastard. He is responsible for so many deaths... He's the UK's super-spreading leviathan.

bbc5live I would not worry mate half the nation roaming the street smashing down statues anyway

FbpeReynard stuff civic duty

Civic duty can go hang unless it applies to all of us, including your chums.

That script they all read from and turn to pages for non-context answers should have its own twitter account.

I placed myself a bet ,that when I opened the thread the word Cummings would appear immediately ,Bingo!

So when they send you a test for track and trace are they testing for coronavirus or are they testing for covid-19 which they should be testing for because everybody on the planet has had coronavirus so it will show up 100-percent positive coronavirus

BBCHughPym TEST & TRACE - Spending days doing what I can do myself in 30 seconds, via a group WhatsApp message 😂 Pathetic service!!!! Only TRACK & TRACE app will work, automatically identifying those you've been in contact with. Even strangers.

BBCHughPym I am more convinced of the existence of the Loch Ness monster than I am of anything MattHancock and this government are telling us. “Civic duty” - yet another condescending, outdated and throwaway slogan. Truly OutOfTouch

BBCPolitics BBCHughPym What utter tosh why would he be pleading for civil duty then

Why, when I read this, do I think it is a satirical post?

Ah the 5 O'clock follies featuring Maths Hancock and Baroness Dido 'I have not worked in health and social care and would be the first to admit I have a lot learn about the sector' Harding. It'll all be fine. Nothing to worry about 😨

BBCScotlandNews BBCHughPym His expectations must have been low!! Only 66% agreed!! Lying again!! No one believes a word they say! Cummings has screwed their credibility 😂😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

haaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaah

World class?! 😂😂😂

BBCPolitics only 2/3 of people with CV was contacted and you calling that world-class system!

and give the goverment my private information? Not in this lifetime pal that app is so invasive it's unreal

BBCPolitics Would you really trust Harding with your data after the talk talk shambles, and her husband wants to get rid of the NHS

Maybe they’re busy testing their eyesight you hypocritical fucknugget

Well that won’t happen without an app

Yeah... in 2025z

Unmitigated bullshit. Most people are sorting this out for themselves

BBCPolitics That's a no then.

BBCHughPym World Class

BBCHughPym And the reason for that is that a lot of those people testing positive REFUSED to give contact information. WHY do you not mention that You really are disgustingly biased!

BBCHughPym They can’t contact a 1/3rd and the ones they do contact 15% won’t comply! That’s not good. No APP...not good. didoharding MattHancock if the private sector operated like this they’d not survive and the sad thing is they think they’re doing a good job!

Neither testing or the capability to trace are currently effective, the last few weeks since Conservatives broke the lockdown have been done without the capability to test and trace effectively, risking even lives. What an admission by the Health Secretary ConservativeDeathCult

Bit pointless if you only test symptomatic people though

“What’s lockdown?”

BBCHughPym A third of those people would not trust this government with their data it’s as simple as that.

Even if the government were actually doing absolutely everything right, they’ll still be someone screaming ‘lies’ and ‘corrupt’

course it is, you don't need to be a scientist to figure that out.

It's more dangerous to a far greater number of people to keep lockdown! Think of the side effects!

MattHancock Weak leadership. Should be mandatory. Otherwise a complete waste of time.

my CIVIC DUTY is to not comply with instructions from a corrupt government, and instead protest until we restore law and order to all people, regardless of if they are a tory, tory party donor, or boris johnson's special advisor.

BBCHughPym

Serco App . No thanks 🙏

Why are you always spinning everything into a negative story. Focus on 67% not 33%. It’s a good start. The BBC is always so negative. Matt Hancock also didn’t announced he hadn’t ruled out mandatory measures. He simply answered a good question. It’s not headlines BBCVickiYoung

Don't you lecture me about my civic duty Hancock, or I might start lecturing you about yours! Shall we start with 10 million on NHS waiting lists?

🤪

WHAT IS THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT MITIGATING DOZENS OF UNDERLYING DISEASES WHICH IF THEY WERE MITIGATED WOULD MITIGATE COVID-19'S VIRULENCE.

No way.

How dare MattHancock lecture us on our civic duty! How dare he! Perhaps someone could remind him that the most obvious civic duty of a government is not to kill its own citizens! ToryGenocide HerdImmunityScandal

Why as one of the journalists got a face on his chin

night Is that Fred?

BBCPolitics So is staying home and isolating.... what has Cummings not been sacked Conservatives 10DowningStreet BorisJohnson MattHancock CummingsTheCovidSpreader NotMovingOnTilDomHasGone

bbc5live and my civic duty to drive all over the country ?oh no thats just the fathead Cummings

The virus symptoms that's also the cold virus and allergy symptoms?

night Hancocks half hour is back on-40 thousand, that's almost a town full......... Open the shops!!

Is it not their duty to enforce laws and rules? Beach goers and protestors rubbing shoulders have made me, like many I guess, not give a fk about 'civil duty', what a fkn insult!

Why doesn't the uk just buy the south Korean app?

BBCPolitics My hay fever's bad and my eyes are streaming, restricting vision. Is it my civic duty to drive to Barnard Castle? cummgate

I think I’ll follow my instincts thank you very much.

And you MR Hancock have just insulted the nation's intelligence-Again! PressBriefing

Don't tell me what my civic duty is. Yours us to resign and take the shower of crooks thieves gangsters and murderers you call Government with you.

Done with these ‘briefings’ don’t need them anymore.

Why the fuck would anyone do as this smug, incompetent charlatan says?

My civic duty is to not have my data stored for 20 years and handed to private UK & American companies. I decline, to quote Tory Thatcherite philosophy, there is no such thing as society!

The good old BBC leads with the negative aren’t you concerned a third didn’t respond, not are you pleased 2 thirds did.

Maintaining lockdown will help to break the chain of transmission. Opening non-essential shops will increase the chain of transmission. I can't believe I have to say that.

MattHancock 'thst's a very important question' so I will waffle, restate unrelated figures and recommendations, and totally ignore the point raised. Class!!!

Coronavirus LIVE: Health Secretary Matt Hancock leads daily COVID-19 briefingHealth Secretary Matt Hancock says a further 151 people have died in the UK after testing positive for COVID19 - taking the total number of deaths in the UK to 41,279. Follow the COVID19 briefing live: Hancock smug and self-satisfied as always, despite his major role in manslaughter of over 60,000 people. Unbelievable. Shouldn’t we be banning R&B and Rap music from what I’ve heard it’s nothing more than racist promotes violence and misogynistic 🤷🏼‍♂️ BorisJohnson has taken on the Herculian tasks of running the UK (with all the countries involved), mastering Brexit, as well as managing the coronavirus Crisis. He could have deputised, but maybe he doesn't trust his Cabinet? Good luck Boris (and the rest of us)! 😉 👍
