−	According to the report, 84% of large businesses and organisations in the UK have lost working days due to a lack of effective contact tracing[1].

	The study, which looked at 500 UK companies employing over 100 staff, found an average cost of £660,193 per business due to absent workers isolating and waiting for test results, following potential contact with COVID-19. This includes time off for those who thought they might have been in close proximity to someone who tested positive for the virus.
