Should I temporarily disable the contact tracing NHS app during teaching sessions or tutorials?

Question:
Should I temporarily disable the contact tracing NHS app during teaching sessions or tutorials?
Answer:

No. Please do not pause contact tracing unless you are wearing clinical grade PPE. While precautions such as social distancing and wearing face coverings reduces the chance of infection the app provides extra protection as it measures the risk score for individuals i.e. it can record if they are too close to someone for a certain period of time.

The app can really help to make a difference, alongside the precautions everyone is adhering to, in tracking interactions and intercepting virus transmission quickly.
