The revelation comes as Michael Gove told Sophy Ridge on Sunday that England's month-long lockdown could be extended beyond 2 December. "Shockingly low" numbers of users have been sent warnings about potential exposures due to the app having the wrong risk threshold set for recording contacts between people, as The Sunday Times first reported.While the technology should have been recognising people as having been in clos...
