LONDON (Reuters) - England's railways, supermarkets and pubs warned the government on Monday that a COVID tracing app, which has told hundreds of thousands of workers to isolate, was wrecking the recovery and pushing supply chains to the brink of collapse.
Cases of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom have hit around 50,000 a day in recent days, pushing workers to self-isolate for 10 days after they were identified as a contact of someone with the disease, a crisis dubbed 'Pingdemic'.
