NHS Covid-19 app pings rise by over 70,000 in a week More than 689,313 people using the app in England and Wales were sent self-isolation alerts in the week up to 21 July

People in England and Wales can download the NHS Covid app .

If you are using the app and spend enough time close to another person with it, you will receive a "ping" alert if they later test positive for Covid-19 and share the information with the app. The app uses the Bluetooth signal to determine whether your phone had recently been within 2m of theirs for at least 15 minutes.The latest Covid App figures follow a week of falling case numbers which ended Wednesday, when 27,734 new daily cases were reported.

The Health Secretary Sajid Javid said "the truth is, when it comes to case numbers no one really knows where they are going to go next". There have also been changes to the separate NHS App, which among other things is used for Covid vaccination records. It has been updated to allow iPhone and iPad users to store their Covid Pass using the Apple Wallet app.

And guess what, we all paid billions for this app! And someone is laughing their tits off after profiting from it!

BBCBusiness Delete the app and carry on. Fixed.

Who still has it installed, crazy!

This is a true representation of the infection rates in this country instead of the government fake figures because I see the other day a government worker admitted that if you’ve been classed as infected and get infected a 2nd time your not counted.

Unsustainable.
