Quote from The Sun: Fed-up Brits are deleting the Covid tracing app in their droves amid warnings millions will be pinged within weeks - despite the vaccine rollout.
Ministers are facing massive fury after they announced double jabbed Brits will have to wait until August 16 to escape draconian self isolation rules.
As infection rates soar, up to 3.5 million Brits are expected to be stuck in self isolation by early August if infection rates hit 100,000 per day as ministers predict.
Despairing business chiefs say the overzealous app - which tells around three people to self isolate for a single Covid case - is forcing entire restaurants to close.
Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UK Hospitality, said the ultra-strict rules are devastating businesses already hammered by rolling lockdowns.
She saids: “Around a third of our staff are self isolating at any one time at the moment because they have been pinged.
“The app is pinging more and more people, and that number is going to go up in the coming weeks.
“The economy is going to grind to a halt.
“It is overzealous and people are just starting to delete it. My timeline is full of people saying they have turned it off because their sister’s wedding is coming up and they don't want to miss it.”
Many restaurant and bar workers have already deleted the app or turned off the bluetooth to stop it working so they do not get pinged, which could mean days of missed work and vital income.
Iain Duncan Smith told The Sun: "What will happen now is as people walk into the pub, they will delete the app.

My phone doesn't do the app so I have no need to delete it.
My local records my name and landline number in their own trace system. As a rule I try to sit outside.
