Commenting on the announcement of the government’s Test and Trace Coronavirus programme, BCC Director General Dr Adam Marshall said:

“’A comprehensive Test and Trace programme is essential to boosting the confidence of businesses, staff and consumers as the economic re-start continues.

“Businesses will be keen to play their part in the success of the programme, and will support their staff to follow the guidance.

“A co-ordinated approach to Test and Trace across all four nations of the UK will be critical to ensuring the success of the programme and enhancing business confidence.”
