National App for COVID-19

The COVID Tracker app is now available - see here for more details.

As part of the national response to COVID-19, work is underway to develop a national app for contact tracing and real-time symptom tracking.

The primary purpose of the app is to enable the health services to improve the speed and effectiveness of contact tracing and to map and predict the spread of COVID-19. This is in support of the overall goal to flatten the curve and prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others in our community.

As well as supporting the government’s overall efforts in the immediate fight against COVID-19, the app will have particular benefits in helping people return to normal life as restrictions ease.
