Test and Trace Exposed

Panorama hears from whistleblowers working inside the government鈥檚 new coronavirus tracking system. They reveal chaos, technical problems, confusion and wasted resources.

Panorama hears from whistleblowers working inside the government鈥檚 new coronavirus tracking system. They are so concerned about NHS Test and Trace that they are speaking out to reveal chaos, technical problems, confusion, wasted resources and a system that does not appear to them to be working. The programme also hears from local public health teams who say they have largely been ignored by the government in favour of the private companies hired to run the new centralised tracking system. As Panorama investigates, it has left some local authorities questioning whether local lockdowns could have been handled better or avoided altogether.
