Coronavirus: NHS contact-tracing app in place by end of month, says minister

The NHS app was originally planned to be part of last week's launch but was delayed because more trials were needed.

on Thursday, Mr Zahawi said:"The app, we are working flat out. We want to make sure it actually does everything it needs to do and will be place in this month.Mr Zahawi said:"We will make sure [the app] will be running as soon as we think it is robust."

40,000(+) reasons why this is too late.

Why is it taking so long? It's been here in Thailand for a month.

BBCPolitics At the moment I am sick of seeing flying pigs .....

Another disaster, like the APP! These so called 'world beating' tools to tackle this virus costing £millions just keep falling by the wayside, never to be seen or talked of again! The governments handling of this is erratic & then they bring in quarantine, destroying more lives!

Before Cummings eye test 75-90% would download the app. After Cummings eye test 45-60%.

BBCPolitics When levels are high DO NOT wear masks,but you must as it gets low.When other Countries have high cases DO NOT isolate,when the cases are very low,we will start to isolate.S.Korea has a 24hr track/trace turnaround,but we have a world beater it takes over 2 weeks by word of mouth.

There’s NO WAY information gathered from this app can be abused...

not using it.

Not if you are police officer.. so what is the point if occupations can opt out..

BBCPolitics Bullshit!

The Conservatives said they'd test 100,000 by May, never happened. They said 200,000 by June and they've barely managed 70,000. They said no to chlorinated chicken, now say yes. Just another empty pledge by a mob of liars. If they said oxygen was good for us, hold your breath.

I thought this was up & running. Yet another example of a delayed strategy.

Why are we struggling to create a British app when there have been tried and tested apps in use in other countries for weeks? Because Boris is still focused on world beating, instead of virus beating. Boris’ British exceptionalism is killing people.

BBCPolitics Mañana, mañana...

BBCPolitics Sorry but won’t be using it

This is getting embarrassing now, the uk is the laughing stock of the world

Shambles, wide open to scams..

BBCPolitics “In place” but not necessarily working or useful. But Serco are imbedded in the NHS supply chain.

BBCPolitics 😂😂😂😂😂. He didn’t say which month.... liars

BBCPolitics Weird since apparently it was already ready four days ago according to Boris Johnson

BBCPolitics World leading by the start of June was the promise

BBCPolitics Snitches get stitches bitches.

Load of bollocks

Don't believe this government trace and track, plus the app, not going to happen if they promise it. Total SHAMBLES GET THIS GOVERNMENT OUT, BORIS AND CUMMINGS MUST GO NOW, DONT ISOLATE JUST GO TO DURHAM AND TEST YOUR EYESIGHT

Which month, out of interest? MattHancock BorisJohnson

Isle of Wight test showed that even in a relatively small closed community only 40% dowloaded app.

Did they say which month

Yet another story that is labelled UK but doesn’t apply to Scotland? BBCHughPym this should be fixed? BBCScotlandNews BBCScotNewsdesk macdonke

And what purpose? Are you starting a flu app? Cold app? Measles App? Chicken pox app? You travelled out of your home, you now owe green tax? And all the other scams it will be used for.

Actually, they copied this idea from Italy who has recently launched an app called ‘Immuni’ (immune people) and warns you if you come into contact with a person who is positive to Covid-19.

They lie. Everything they've promised has been a lie

Such crybaby comments on a post about something so simple as an app... So pathetic 😂😂

it begins! kiss yer freedoms goodby! NANNY STATE!!!

Not that anyone will be signing up for it

This was a Labour idea, along with free WiFi and waterproof teabags that were stolen by the conservative government.

It is NOT an NHS app!!! FFS stop pedalling lies!

So? Who believes ministers anymore, all aspects of our government seem to lie .

“...says minister” doesn’t mean much.
