Not sure if anyone else here has been contacted by Track & Trace this afternoon, we've just been contacted and are required to self-isolate until 13 June, which takes us back in time to our 3 June arrival into LHR.
I assume the positive case was therefore on our flight (BA182 from JFK departing on 2 June). It would be interesting to know if the whole flight has to self-isolate - we were in row 1.

Given recent reports about trips back from Portugal, it might well be the whole plane. If so, the day 2 test seems to be there to frustrate travellers by claiming they're "close contacts" of Covid cases (who might be sat 70 metres away at the other end of a 77W).

It's on the PLF form, along with email address. And the text "NHS Test and Trace has identifed you as a close contact of someone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19" is addressed to [First Name, Middle Name], which is also on the PLF form.

This track and trace lark is one of the reasons I’ve been reluctant to fly. I know it’s the same in restaurants but the stakes are really high if you’re abroad and either have to isolate for your whole holiday or get stuck abroad for 10 extra days. I hope it gets abolished.

now if you get covid abroad and test positive before the return and are stuck for ten days...well that stinks but is the risk people take going abroad.

Traveled with partner on two UK domestic BA flights on 20 May. Partner was contacted by Test and Trace a week later on 27 May and instructed to isolate until 23:59 on 30 May. Could only have been from the flight as we had not been anywhere else that required us to leave details. I didn't get anything from Test and Trace despite being sat next to them.
