LETTERS – No-one told me to isolate

I had a coronavirus test on Saturday night.

When I first tried to book a test online, it asks for your postcode.

I entered PE11. It wanted me to go to Leicester for the test.

However putting in PE1 meant I could go to East of England showground, Peterborough.

They don’t ask for your full address just 1st part of your postcode, email and phone.

When I had my test, no one told me I should isolate.

I phoned 119 afterwards to give feedback on this omission They thought everyone knew that anyway and would have read about it.

They also gave me a results card with a barcode on.

The new app doesn’t recognise the bar code but they told me to keep it.

What for?

My result was negative.
