UK TEST AND TRACE SYSTEM LAUNCHES

UK Health secretary Matt Hancock says it's people's 'civic duty' to co-operate with a new coronavirus test and trace regime being rolled out (on Thursday).

The NHS system is going live with 25-thousand contact tracers recruited.

Their job will be to trace everyone who's come close to a Covid-19 sufferer - and tell them to self-isolate for 14-days, even if they have no symptoms.

Public health professor Linda Bauld explains what that means.

IN: "Close...
OUT: ...etc."
