More covid mess up with Indian version in UK

The first problem is that UK did not put India on the red list.  They allowed flights to come in and thousands of people arrived.  Pakistan and Bangladesh were on red, not India.  Health Secretary said this was because the other countries had 3 times more cases.  The evidence says this is not true.
The people arriving from India had just as many cases.  The second problem was the Track and Trace system did not tell the local authorities about who had positive tests.  then when they did tell, they missed out the contact information.  People were not in isolation and their contacts were not warned and tested.  Track and trace cost £37 billion but did not work properly.  Now we have a surge of the Indian version.
