There's nothing quite like eating your own dog food, as Test and Trace chief Baroness Dido Harding has learned after being instructed to self-isolate by the NHS COVID-19 contact-tracing app overnight.
In a tweet this morning, Harding said she was feeling well, and that there's "Nothing like personal experience of your own products." A screenshot posted to Twitter shows Harding with nine days remaining in her isolation period.
"Speaking to The Register, a Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said:"Dido Harding is self-isolating after being anonymously notified to do so by the NHS COVID-19 app.
"The NHS Test and Trace system continues to break chains of transmission, with everybody having their part to play in tackling this virus."
Harding, who previously served as chief executive of the TalkTalk Group, was appointed by Health Secretary Matt Hancock to lead NHS Test and Trace in May. Her tenure has been overshadowed by multiple failures and delays to roll out a functional contact-tracing app.
