Good afternoon,

How's your week going?

It's been a busy morning across Lancashire with incidents on both the M55 and M6 causing disruption to commuters - hopefully you weren't caught up in it?

Have you experienced problems with the Test and Trace system?

A pregnant woman from Preston who caught Covid-19 was only contacted by the Test and Trace service eight days after she learned of her positive result.

Sally Fazeli first experienced symptoms, including a cough and a fever on September 19, had a test the following day and received notification of the positive result on September 21.

Yet, she did not receive a call from Test and Trace until September 28 - nine days into the 10-day self-isolation period.
