Today sees the launch of the new NHS Covid-19 app.

Based on an Apple/Google privacy framework, the app has a number of tools designed to help us protect those we love, including:

  • contact tracing
  • checking into venues through an in-built QR code scanner
  • risk alerts by postcode
  • a symptom checker and test booking.

Downloading the app is the fastest way to see if you’re at risk from the virus. The faster you know, the quicker you can alert and protect your loved ones.
