“A lot of people I know have deleted the [NHS Test and Trace] app because they don’t want to be pinged when they’re not ill and not going into work and lose money,” Nadia said.
She also added that she knows some parents who have taken their kids out of school early to avoid being pinged.

The Loose Women never shy away from COVID debate
The Loose Women are no strangers to discussing the pandemic, with segments often ending up in fiery debates.
Last month Denise Welch clashed with Gloria Hunniford over COVID rules.
Denise stated that restrictions should end because she was unable to accompany her father to hospital in an ambulance.
