Will Australians take up the new COVID-19 tracing app?
Chief Medical Officer Professor Brendan Murphy has predicted a more than 50% take-up of the new ‘COVIDSafe’ app, as the Federal Government mobilises a broad range of health professionals to convince people to download the tracing device.
The app, launched by Minister for Health Greg Hunt on Sunday, will broaden and speed up the tracing of contacts a person testing positive for COVID-19 has had.
