Last week her husband , Conservative MP John Penrose , was also told to isolate by the app , while Prime Minister Boris Johnson is self-isolating at No 10 after NHS Test and Trace contacted him .
How do I download the app ?
Your phone must have Android 6.0 ( released in 2015 ) or iOS 13.5 ( released in May 2020 ) and Bluetooth 4.0 or higher .
That excludes the iPhone 6 and older versions of Apple 's handsets .
Some more recent Huawei phones will not load the app either .
What can the app do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long enough time , and one of the two owners later shares a positive coronavirus test via the app , then the other will receive an alert .
Hospitality venues such as pubs and restaurants will be asked to display posters with a QR code , which app users will be able to scan .
How has contact tracing been carried out until now ?
What happens to people who are then contacted ?
If you are approached because one of your contacts has tested positive , you must stay at home for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contact with them .
Others in your household wo n't have to self-isolate unless they also develop symptoms , but must take extra care around you regarding social distancing and hand washing .
How is the tracing scheme going ?
Of those transferred to the contact tracing system between 29 October and 4 November in England , 85.0 % were reached and asked to provide information about their contacts .
This has remained broadly similar since Test and Trace began , although increased slightly , over the past month .
An NHS Test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pub or restaurant must close .
It depends on the circumstances and when the infected person visited .

Instead, if they have no symptoms and at least two weeks have passed since the second dose, they can get a PCR test. If the result is negative, self-isolation can then be ended.

Brexit: What's happening and what comes next? Published 18 November 2020
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier has said he wants "future co-operation to be open but fair"
It's been a hectic year in news, with the coronavirus pandemic and the US presidential election dominating the headlines.
Brexit deadlines have come and gone, but now it's fair to say crunch time is fast approaching for the UK's departure from the European Union.
So, given everything that's been going on, it feels like a good time to catch up on where we are.
Remind me - what's the current situation?
The UK actually left the EU on 31 January, but it's continuing to follow the bloc's rules until the end of the year.
These extra 11 months of transition were designed to give both sides some breathing room to negotiate a post-Brexit deal.
Such a deal would shape the UK's future relationship with its European neighbours, with key areas such as trade and immigration all under discussion.
These negotiations are to determine the rules for the new UK-EU relationship which will start - whatever happens - on 1 January 2021.
But remember: any deal would need to get the green light from parliaments on both sides, so time is running out.
Got it. So how are the talks going?
Well, they've ground to something of a standstill.
Negotiations got under way in March, but progress has been fitful. Over the summer, the EU's top negotiator Michel Barnier said a deal seemed unlikely, while the UK said it was not afraid to walk away from the negotiating table all together.
Not exactly positive then.
The main sticking points have been fishing - namely how much access EU boats should have to UK waters - and state aid. The latter dispute revolves around whether the UK government should be allowed to subsidise failing companies, something that's generally not allowed under EU rules.
The EU was also unhappy when the UK government published a controversial bill in September - the Internal Market Bill - that could overrule the Withdrawal Agreement already signed with the EU. The EU's concerns centre on the future arrangements for Northern Ireland.
Talks began again in Brussels on Monday, in what is sure to be a crucial week. The sticking points, however, remain stubbornly in place.
What might happen next?
That's the million euro question.
If a deal is not agreed before 31 December, the UK will leave the EU's main trading arrangements - the single market and customs union - and trade with the bloc on terms similar to, say, the US or China.
This would mean tariffs and border checks being applied to UK exports to the EU, while the UK would also have to decide what tariffs and checks to impose on goods coming the other way. All of this could push up costs for consumers.
Full border checks could cause long delays at ports, while all sides have said they want to avoid checks along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (the only UK-EU land border).
Contingency measures could also be introduced for various economic sectors if there is no deal, in an effort to avoid the worst disruption on 1 January.

A basic deal being agreed in time is still a possibility. Politicians on both sides, however, are going to have to make concessions fairly quickly.
The agreement would need to be turned into a legal text, translated, and then ratified by parliaments on both sides, all before the looming 31 December deadline.

bbcuk--2020-11-18--How electric cars are charged and how far they go: your questions answered

The announcement that the UK is to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 , a full decade earlier than planned , has prompted hundreds of questions from anxious drivers .
I ’ m going to try to answer some of the main ones we ’ ve had sent in to the BBC .
How do you charge an electric car at home ?
The problem is this is slow .
It will take many hours to fully charge an empty battery , depending of course on how big the battery is .
Expect it to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours , but if you ’ ve got a big car you could be waiting more than 24 hours .
How much will it cost to charge my car at home ?
The cost will depend on what car you ’ ve got .
Those with small batteries – and therefore short ranges – will be much cheaper than those with big batteries that can travel for hundreds of kilometres without recharging .
How much it will cost will also depend on what electricity tariff you are on .
Most manufacturers recommend you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which means you pay much less for electricity during the night – when most of us would want to charge our cars .
What if you don ’ t have a drive ?
If you can find a parking space on the street outside your home you can run a cable out to it but you should make sure you cover the wires so people don ’ t trip over them .
Many local authorities are putting in street charging points .
Look out for lamp posts with a blue light on them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can get power .
Lots of new electric cars now have apps installed that will direct you to the nearest charging point .
If not , there are a host of websites and downloadable apps that will do the job .
There are already more than 30,000 charging stations in the UK , according to the electricity company EDF .
This means there are already more public places to charge than petrol stations .
Around 10,000 new charge points were added just in 2019 .
Public charging points are pretty easy to use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different operators and you often have to be a member to use them .
Typically , you ’ ll need to use a swipecard or your mobile phone to unlock the charging point .
This will allow you to connect the charging cable from your car to the charging point .
A few manufacturers , most notably Tesla , offer access to “ superchargers ” .
These allow very rapid charging indeed , you might get an 80 % charge in just 30 minutes – about the time it takes to go to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cup of coffee .
How far can an electric car go ?
As you might expect , this depends on which car you choose .
The rule of thumb is the more you spend , the further you ’ ll go .
The range you get depends on how you drive your car .
If you drive fast , you ’ ll get far fewer kilometres than listed below .
Careful drivers should be able to squeeze even more kilometres out of their vehicles .
How long does the battery last ?
Check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the battery – many do .
They typically last eight to 10 years .
It 's worth understanding how they work , because you wo n't be able to buy a new petrol or diesel car after 2030 .

How electric cars are charged and how far they go: your questions answered Published 18 November 2020
The announcement that the UK is to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, a full decade earlier than planned, has prompted hundreds of questions from anxious drivers. I’m going to try to answer some of the main ones we’ve had sent in to the BBC.
How do you charge an electric car at home?
The obvious answer is that you plug it into the mains but, unfortunately, it isn’t always that simple.
If you have a driveway and can park your car beside your house, then you can just plug it straight into your domestic mains electricity supply.
The problem is this is slow. It will take many hours to fully charge an empty battery, depending of course on how big the battery is. Expect it to take a minimum of eight to 14 hours, but if you’ve got a big car you could be waiting more than 24 hours.
A faster option is to get a home fast-charging point installed. The government will pay up to 75% of the cost of installation (to a maximum of £500), though installation often costs around £1,000.
A fast charger should typically take between four and 12 hours to fully charge a battery, again depending how big it is.
How much will it cost to charge my car at home?
This is where electric vehicles really show cost advantages over petrol and diesel. It is significantly cheaper to charge an electric car than fill up a fuel tank.
The cost will depend on what car you’ve got. Those with small batteries – and therefore short ranges – will be much cheaper than those with big batteries that can travel for hundreds of kilometres without recharging.
How much it will cost will also depend on what electricity tariff you are on. Most manufacturers recommend you switch to an Economy 7 tariff, which means you pay much less for electricity during the night – when most of us would want to charge our cars.
The consumer organisation Which estimates the average driver will use between £450 and £750 a year of additional electricity charging an electric car.

What if you don’t have a drive?
If you can find a parking space on the street outside your home you can run a cable out to it but you should make sure you cover the wires so people don’t trip over them.
Once again, you have the choice of using the mains or installing a home fast-charging point.
What about public charging points?
Many local authorities are putting in street charging points. Look out for lamp posts with a blue light on them. These will have plugs where you can get power.
Lots of new electric cars now have apps installed that will direct you to the nearest charging point. If not, there are a host of websites and downloadable apps that will do the job.
There are already more than 30,000 charging stations in the UK, according to the electricity company EDF. This means there are already more public places to charge than petrol stations. Around 10,000 new charge points were added just in 2019.
And you should expect that number to increase rapidly. Today, the government announced a £1.3bn investment in electric vehicle infrastructure, including charging points across the country.
Public charging points are pretty easy to use, but there are a number of different operators and you often have to be a member to use them.
Some charge a flat fee each month for access; some offer pay-as-you-go charging.
Typically, you’ll need to use a swipecard or your mobile phone to unlock the charging point. This will allow you to connect the charging cable from your car to the charging point.
A few manufacturers, most notably Tesla, offer access to “superchargers”. These allow very rapid charging indeed, you might get an 80% charge in just 30 minutes – about the time it takes to go to the loo and buy and drink a cup of coffee.
These used to be free to Tesla owners, but now most have to pay to use the Supercharger network.
Image source, Reuters Image caption, New charging points are going in all the time
How far can an electric car go?
As you might expect, this depends on which car you choose. The rule of thumb is the more you spend, the further you’ll go.
The range you get depends on how you drive your car. If you drive fast, you’ll get far fewer kilometres than listed below. Careful drivers should be able to squeeze even more kilometres out of their vehicles.
These are some approximate ranges for different electric cars.
Renault Zoe - 394km (245 miles)
Hyundai IONIQ - 310km (193 miles)
Nissan Leaf e+ - 384km (239 miles)
Kia e Niro - 453km (281 miles)
BMW i3 120Ah - 293km (182 miles)
Tesla Model 3 SR+ - 409km (254 miles)
Tesla Model 3 LR - 560km (348 miles)
Jaguar I-Pace - 470km (292 miles)
Honda e - 201km (125 miles)
Vauxhall Corsa e- 336km (209 miles)
Source: SMMT
It is worth noting that electric vehicle range is expected to steadily increase as battery technology improves.
How long does the battery last?
Once again, this depends on how you look after it.
Most electric car batteries are lithium-based, just like the battery in your mobile phone. Like your phone battery, the one in your car will degrade over time. What that means is it won’t hold the charge for so long and the range will reduce.
If you overcharge the battery or try to charge it at the wrong voltage it will degrade more quickly.
Check out whether the manufacturer offers a warranty on the battery – many do. They typically last eight to 10 years.

Covid: How Scotland reached 5,000 deaths during the pandemic Published 19 November 2020
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, The coffin of a Scottish care worker who died during the first wave of the pandemic
There have now been more than 5,000 deaths in Scotland linked to Covid-19, according to official figures.
The National Records of Scotland (NRS), which counts all death certificates which mention the virus, said 5,135 people had died as of 15 November, up from 4,857 the week before.
The sheer number of deaths is enough to underline the impact that the pandemic has had on Scotland, but what do we know of the complex picture behind this figure?
The deaths have come in two waves
In the spring, the number of deaths per week from Covid-19 accelerated very quickly.
Between 16-22 March there were 11 deaths. Just four weeks later, 650 deaths were recorded between 13-19 April.
Deaths peaked in the week beginning 20 April, when 661 Covid deaths were recorded.
The number of new deaths from Covid-19 stabilised over the summer, but the weekly totals began to rise again in September.
In the first week of September, there were just two deaths using the NRS measure - last week there were 278 and there is no sign yet of the rate beginning to decrease.
Excess deaths from all causes are high
There are two main ways of counting deaths from Covid-19.
The Scottish government releases daily figures of those who died following a positive test, and the NRS counts death certificates mentioning Covid-19 - even if the person has not been tested for the virus.
But the NRS also publishes monthly figures on excess deaths from all causes, compared with a five-year average.
As of 15 November, there had been 5,738 more deaths than would be expected since the start of the outbreak in Scotland, when measured against this average.
Some of the non-Covid excess deaths in the early days of the outbreak could actually have been caused by the virus, but the link was perhaps missed because there were lower levels of testing and less knowledge about the disease.
Others can be seen as indirect deaths - for example deaths from other conditions when people could not access the treatment they needed.
Most deaths have been among older people
More than three-quarters all deaths involving Covid-19 up until 8 November were of people aged 75 or over.
The virus has caused the death of 34 people under 45, but there have been 447 deaths among those aged between 45 and 64.
No-one under 15 years old has died from Covid-19 in Scotland, according to the NRS.
The worst-hit areas are in the west of Scotland
Looking at the death rates per 100,000 people across each local authority in Scotland, eight out of the top 10 are in western Scotland.
The highest death rate in the country has been in West Dunbartonshire, with 159 deaths per 100,000, followed by Inverclyde with a rate of 157.
The lowest rate is in the Western Isles which as of 8 November had only seen one death from Covid-19.
How does Scotland compare with other nations?
Comparisons between nations are difficult to do because of the different demographic make-up.
The ONS looked at this issue back in July using the excess deaths measure.
The comparison suggested England had been the hardest hit in Europe, with Scotland ranked third, behind Spain.
How this will be reflected in the second wave is not yet clear.
How will 2020 look in context?
There have been 54,510 deaths from all causes in Scotland in 2020 so far and there are likely to be another 8,000 deaths or so before the end of the year, judging from averages over the last five years.
If Scotland reaches almost 63,000 deaths this year, it will be the highest overall death toll since 1993.
