Re: SCAM - Covid notification test
I had the same message. The link they wanted me to click on was the same as the one you've posted.
I didn't click on it - the fact it wasn't an NHS or government URL suggested (to me) it was a scam.
I wonder how many will be fooled, especially as the end of self-isolation is being mooted as imminent (28th Feb?) which might lead quite a few people to decide to skip it anyway...
