NHS Covid 19 Contact Tracing App

Just downloaded this and switched it on. Very simple and straightforward.

It was very easy and the more people that have it running, the more effective it will be.

There’s also some neat features about checking-in to locations, and it will give you risk level of your local area.

I've downloaded it too. I'm in a medium risk area.

Downloaded it too. Frankly it seems silly not to.

I’ve done it to. I’m in a medium risk area too. Will try it at hairdressers today if they’ve a QR code.

I know Crafty Casks where I go to in rayleigh has the QR code. So will try in Saturday lunchtime when we pop in for a beer.

Apparently our area is high, but we are very near to Manchester So I’m not suprised. Cases in our town are very low actually until now, so hopefully we will be okay x

I think there are a number of smartphones (mosltly older models) that it won't work on, so the more people that have a phine that supports it, and who download it and turn it on the better I think.

It needs the latest OS so will not work on my phone. Much like my surgery's app. Health can be quite expensive.

I have not decided whether I am going to download yet !
I only mainly go to Chiropractor , and I sit in the car till called in by Chiropractor or Sports Massage Therapist.

Just been reading about this in the news websites. I’m going to download it too. I’d imagine it will say I’m a high risk area with me been in the North East and have a local lockdown in place.

Just displayed the QR codes at work, checked into M&S about 20 times now making sure the placement was right.

Is it just for England? That’s what they seemed to be saying on the radio last night.

 

[MarkGeordie]

The app that got released today is for England and Wales.

I understand it won't work on older phones.

I believe your phone needs to be operating a certain version of the operating system.

Yes I have just checked. You need at least Android 6.0
