At long last it was announced that the NHS app will be released soon following trials in parts of London and the Isle of Wight.
It will use Bluetooth to let you know if you have been in proximity to someone who has tested positive and there will be the ability for businesses like Pubs and Restaurants to use QR codes for people to check-in to.
The launch of the app in England & Wales follows the Scottish App that was released last week.
Clearly the effectiveness of any app is dependent on the number of people who download it so you get that critical mass of usage to make it worthwhile.
Do you plan on downloading the App or do you have concerns about the privacy / data implications?
