"I'm aware that not isolating following a positive test may incur a £1000 fine but what is the law surrounding divulging potential contacts when asked? I don't know . But imagine it's now mandatory you do it .. on the same level as refusing to provide your details or a drugs and alcohol test after an accident etc .. You can do that of course ..refuse .. but will probably end up down the police station the same as for the other things .. " | |||

I believe so yes" I've just checked and declining to provide your identity is perfectly legal the police can however, arrest you but only under a certain set of circumstances. | |||

"Not in all circumstances https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-to-stop-and-search-your-rights" Yes, thats is in relation to stop and search under s.1 Police and Criminal Evidence Act and similar circumstances. There are other situations under which you are legally obliged to provide details. Additionally under Code G of PACE withholding your name/address could give a power if arrest where previously no such power applied. | |||

Well I guess if you're meeting people at this current time that you shouldn't I think you have any protection and neither should you." Ta only I wasnt asking for opinion, I'm trying to find out if it's a law. Is not divulging potential contacts following a positive C19 test punishable to the same degree as breaking isolation? | |||

Yep, I've read that too, I'm trying to find out the legalities although the word 'guidance' is telling. | |||

"It's an offence to provide false information about contacts. It's morally dubious to let other people be put at risk of death. Each person that's infected by someone can be the first in a long chain of people who get sick, disabled or die. Who'd live with that on their conscience? If you know you are infected, it's the best thing to do to make contact directly with anyone you think you may have infected. No need to wait for official tracers. " Thanks Sophie. Could you tell me where that info is please? | |||

"The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Self- Isolation) (England) Regulations 2020 Makes it a legal obligation to disclose name of all persons in the same household when you have tested positive or had close contact with a positive test." I was just going to say this. Obviously is difficult to know if somebody breeches this but I do think we all have a moral obligation to do so. | |||

"Not in all circumstances " You do actually "have the right to remain silent" in all circumstances relating to the police. It is rarely the correct action, but it is definitely "a right". Most of the time, refusing to cooperate is just going to waste a load of your own time. If you are suspected of involvement in a crime, you will be detained until your identity can be ascertained. | |||

"So let's get this right. Some people believe that if you test positive the £1000 penalty is a risk worth taking for continuing to spread the virus and killing people. Other people believe that if you test positive, you should not inform the track and trace people of close contacts so that they can still potentially spread the virus and kill people. And I bet they are the same idiots who say that the Government is mis-managing the crisis." Bravo | |||

One colleague gleefully said if track and trace contacted her (as being a close contact of someone who tested positive), she would only isolate if she had symptoms. | |||

They are fixated (id say addicted) on the negative, these threads are full of people that twist a simple question into their own narrative so they can point fingers. Same sort of people that would probably assign rule breaking to a random neighbour because they heard loud music and have them bothered by the police. | |||
