Swindon shoppers are ignoring the test and trace system in place in the town centre.

NHS QR codes are displayed on the entrance to the Brunel Shopping Centre but research done by the Adver shows that no one is using them.

During a 20 minute period at the start of the month 105 people were counted entering the centre but no one scanned the code that would alert them to an outbreak.

The Adver visited the Swindon Designer Outlet to conduct a similar test but no QR codes were posted on any of the main entrances to the building and only 16 units in the main concourse had a code - including places like Costa, Starbucks and Giraffe which are required to have one by law.

Here's what you said on Facebook:

Tanya Legg: "I do it when I go in but it's not in the most sensible of places.

"The first time I did it it was stuck to the automatic door and kept opening and closing as I tried, I messaged them through Facebook and suggested they moved it and yes they have put in on a door but it's quite low, needs to be on a sign at eye level."

Lucia Pontiroli: "They are really badly placed, and if you miss them at the entrance you've missed your chance.

"This is not just at the Brunel Centre, but pretty much every place I've been.

"They should be repeated many times inside the shop, or at every table in a restaurant, so people would be able to scan them without causing a queue."

Marcus Kittridge: "We now have three tiers in England; Medium, High and Very High.

"However, the NHS Track and Trace App has three different categories; Low, Medium and High.

"How do these correlate? Very confusing."

Alexandra Mancari: "Trouble is, they’re not always easy to spot when you’re in a rush and just want to get in at out ASAP.

"Went to a hairdressers Saturday and was waiting outside, looking for QR code- only to see it on reception desk on the way out."

Adam Sollis: "When it comes to human beings being told to do something with little to no personal implications if we don't, the majority won't."

Sonia Adameke: "Government should buy everyone an apple or Samsung latest phone as to ensure we all have the right gadget for the app."

Jade Davies Upsall: "Not everyone has the app. I don’t.

"Everywhere I’ve gone had the option to use the app or fill out a form.

"Clearly there needs to be someone here ensuring either one happens."

Rob Grey: "More nonsense. Most people prefer to go about their business without these intrusions."

Andrew Nelson: "It will take time and enforcement to do this, people have enough to deal with at the moment.

"It's important but things need to be made easier."

Rachel Davis: "Most other shopping centres have someone on the doors making sure it's scanned.

"Obviously with no one manning it people aren't going to do it."

Helen Jackson: "I have an old school phone. I am happy with my phone, it does all I need it to.

"I don't understand those scan pictures or how to use them. And I don't intend to purchase a new phone that I don't want in order to do this.

"I am just one of many that is in this position and I know many people who do have appropriate phones who don't know how to use this.

"So, don't assume that we don't care, other wrong assumptions are that everyone either has the technology or knows how to use it."

Michaela Gainey: "So what happens if your phone doesn’t have the correct update (as it’s too old) to scan the app?"

Jenny Pithers: "I have never scanned a QR code in my life.

"I know what they are but is scanning like taking a photo? As I'm 70, I don't know all this stuff."

Sidney Ansell: "Posters are not prominent enough, my wife and I were in town but can’t say we saw them."

Lauren Curtis: "I was in Brunel and didn’t see it? Scanned when my son was having hair cut. If I’m asked I'll happily scan."
