Reflection of the Corona test system: 4,000 Amazon employees put in quarantine

London. Due to a failure of the British coronate test system, thousands of Amazon employees in Great Britain were initially wrongly put under quarantine. According to routine tests, almost 4,000 employees were informed about a positive result and asked to isolate themselves, even though they had actually negatively tested the coronavirus, the British Ministry of Health confirmed on Tuesday. First, the "Guardian" reported on the collapse on the weekend. During the day, however, the error was noticed and all those affected notified, the Ministry said.

The British test and tracking system, which the government announced last year as "the best in the world", was constantly criticized. Sometimes it was extremely difficult for those affected to obtain tests at all, and there was also a lack of tracking and notification of the contact persons.
