She’s never checked in anywhere with it

That is irrelevant.
if Bluetooth is on and she's been in contact with someone for a longish time who also has the app and has tested positive then she will be advised.

On 18 May Bolton peaked at a Pop Score of 458 as posted above. It has slowly fallen to 286 today - though a week ago it was down on 239 and has been rising slowly again since.

Manchester today has gone above that highest Bolton number. Onto 480. On 18 May it was just 59. It has gone up relentlessly every day since.

On that day - 18 May - here are where the other GM boroughs were at that point and what they have done since.

Bury was 53 - has gone up without stopping to 375

Oldham was 28 - has gone up without stoppin to 359

Rochdale was 40 - has gone up steadily to 353

Salford was 31 - has risen inexorably witrh a brief pause around 330 10 days ago to now be close to top on 462/

Stockport was 14 - rose more slowly to 228 then fell for two weeks to 194 about 9 dys agp and edged up to 257

Tameside was 18 - stayed below 100 for 2 weeks then went up and up to 332

Trafford was 46 - slowed a little two weeks ago but has gone upsteailysince to 338

Wigan was 26 and has just gone up and up ever since accelerating in past two weeks going from 235 to 438 in 15 days,

The key there is rising slowly in Bolton.
The outbreak there is clearly in the upper quartile of the epidemic distribution curve which indicates the outbreak is not finding enough people to infect who do not have immunity.
Bolton was under special measures which it no longer is, so the brake that was applied by those measures no longer is.

Look on the bright side, the pandemic doesn’t appear to have blunted ingenuity, and if they consume the rest of the fruit juice, it’s a health boon.

You don't have to show proof that your test is positive though do you? Just report a positive test, and jobs done.

Five of Australia's eight states and territories are fighting the highly transmissible Delta variant after the first case was found in New South Wales capital Sydney two weeks ago.

Sydney is already under a two-week lockdown until 9 July, while the northern city of Darwin has extended its lockdown until Friday.

Now, Perth has begun a four-day lockdown today and a three-day shutdown is being imposed in Brisbane and some neighbouring regions from this evening.
