To ask the Scottish Government how people who have tested positive for COVID-19 can pro-actively get in touch with contract tracers in situations where they are concerned about the length of time it is taking for health protection teams to contact them for the purposes of identifying close contacts.

Test and Protect is working well and doing exactly what we need it to – identifying positive cases early and tracing contacts so they can get appropriate public health advice.

The National Contact Tracing Centre can be reached using the Freephone number 0800 0308 012, in the event where an individual wishes to urgently speak to a contact tracer following a positive test result, or if they wish to verify that a call from a contact tracer is genuine.
