Covid contact tracing app is forcing many workers into self isolation, as sector asks for government help
This summer’s music festival season could face last-minute cancellations due to staffing shortages caused by workers being told to self-isolate by the NHS Covid-19 app, according to industry leaders, who are calling for government support.
Paul Reed, chief executive of the Association of Independent Festivals, said this summer season, which is already greatly reduced after a number of high-profile cancellations including Glastonbury, could face further disruption.
