Was spoken about more at today's evening briefing, so I'm wondering.
Would you be happy to install whatever Official App this ends up being on your smartphone, to enable you to be notified if you had been in close proximity to someone for a while, who has since developed to the virus?
Or are you too worried that such an app may be tracking your location all the time to want to have this on your phone.
As far as I'm aware it's not a location tracker, it's just a proximity tracker to another persons phone.
Personally I'm not worried as I have tracking on for Google all the time anyway, but I know some are very paranoid about this stuff.
What will you do?
