I haven't got the tracing app and have no intention of downloading it, despite work trying to promote it. As regards giving details at venues, I don't volunteer any information. If I go somewhere and they don't bother to ask, then I tell them nothing. I only give any details if actively asked for them. I haven't told anyone I'm Donald Trump or Mickey Mouse either.

It's just as likely that it could be you infecting other people with the virus then, not me. Those of us who object to the various knee-jerk coronavirus policies don't have a monopoly on being virus carriers. All the pro-lockdown nanny state do-gooders who enjoy lecturing everyone else are just as much of an infection conduit.
The only answer that the OP needs.

But we're minimizing close contact, whilst complying with current law on contact details being required to be given.

Well, I've not left this one bedroom since Friday, not even seen my kids in the other room since then! And i'm still 100% ! I have to go until Thursday.
Like most say on here, the guy I had the very minimal contact with (and it's the first proper person I've known to get it), hasn't a damn clue where he got it from as he'd been staying well out the way of everyone, he can only think it's from playing golf. It just shows you the 2m rule is there for a reason and most people don't adhere to it, they stand talking to each other as they would normally, no masks, they think "I won't get this, it won't happen to me"......I've been dealt a stark reminder, so I hope its just an arrow across my brow and I don't start to develop symptoms.
Stay 2m apart people and don't be afraid to tell people to move back or move away, there's no other way.

Well said @plastic_cyclist!
@SkipdiverJohn the official guidance is that your infectious up to 4 days before you show symptoms or give a positive test if not showing symptoms and then required to isolate for 10 days. Your contacts are required to isolate for 14 days because for the first four days before you isolated you could have infected them and they do the extra days to “break” the chain.
Personally, I think it’s a selfish attitude to take to carry on as normal. You could contact me in a social setting such as at a coffee house and I then go and visit my parents and infect them who in turn go and visit their parents who then contract Covid and potentially die all because you didn’t bother to isolate; as Boris said, regardless of what you think of him your not just taking a risk for yourself your risking the health of others.

So let me get this right, If I was to download the NHS APP and visit KFC for example and check in this afternoon.
Someone else who also has the APP visits the same establishment and then some days later was proven to have Covid I would then need to stay at home and not go to work for 2 weeks?
Even though I show no signs of the disease and may have been nowhere near this person as I would have been sitting either alone or with people I know?
Surely you can see why people are loath to download this APP?
