It looks like that's what it must mean.bagpuss wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 11:20 amI wonder if this means that you've been briefly in range of someone who's tested positive but that the system/app has assessed the contact as minimal or very low risk or whatever - eg if the bluetooth signal was weak and you were only in range for a very brief time.MartinDurkin wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 10:48 amWell I had another notification on my lockscreen. I was a bit more careful this time and when I unlocked the phone there was a notification icon at the top of the screen. Pulling down revealed a message saying something like "Someone near you has tested positive for COVID19 ...". I assumed there would be more info available and clicked on the notification, but that just opened the app which has no notification record inside it and of course the notification has disappeard.
I haven't been out of the house for a week so I figured my only contact is likely to have been my wife. I checked on her phone and she had the notification ("oh I wondered what that red dot was!").
This is what was showing on her phone. It disappeared after being read.
