Which would not have explained Mrs Danllan's failure to get one.
No surprise at 'numbers' being available; HMG doesn't have all numbers, but others in the public sector do.

It was in the news the other morning, all mobile networks were sending out a text referring their customers to Boris's doomsday video.

Our civil alert system broadcasts to capable phones, (which I assume are smart phones ) from targeted cell towers. This gives the ability to target specific areas if required.

As I'm over 70 and deemed to be at a high risk because of a respiratory condition, I received the dreaded NHS letter this morning. If Mrs. LS, who is 63, were to exhibit symptoms, we would be in total lockdown. If I get it it will not be pleasant, and I may end up in hospital. She went to Waitrose this morning, and of course, she couldn't get all that she wanted, but she did get loo rolls for the first time in weeks.
Waitrose were very well organised, they would only allow 35 customers in the store at a time. Staff wiped the trolleys over for each customer on entry. She always says that going to Waitrose is a much more pleasant experience than going to Morrisons. The trouble is that some things she can only get in Morrisons. She came home pretty stresses having queued for ages at the chemist for her prescription, only to be told that they still didn't have the drug. She's now gone out for a walk, up the lane and through the neighbour's fields.
At the house next door, there are men cleaning the gutters. They're here with 2 vans, hardley essential work.
