Coronavirus Contact Tracing App

With the risk factor increasing from low to medium on the Test and Trace App, News OnTheWight sought clarification from the Isle of Wight council as to why this was happening. Here’s what they told us

The Government still haven't released stats about the usage of the App during the Isle of Wight trial, but thank Islanders for their part

Isle of Wight residents running the Isle of Wight Test and Trace App had a notification on their phone today that the ‘Area risk level’ changed from low to Medium. This is what we know so far

News OnTheWight had to resort to asking Bob Seely to get usage numbers on the v2 Test and Trace App, after being stonewalled by the Government team. Twenty days later, on the eve of the National rollout, even our MP can’t get them.

The App will be rolled out nationally in two weeks time, but the team behind it are still failing to answer very simple public interest questions about its IW uptake/use - even the MP seems to be blocked from the answers

These are public interest questions - as Islanders are being asked to take part, it’s only right that they are kept informed of its progress

The Test and Trace App Team still haven't provided stats on how many Islanders are using the App and now plan to rollout to visitors coming to the Island for the bank holiday

In a case of Deja Vu, the new Test and Trace App team are not providing answers to News OnTheWight’s three simple questions about the take-up of the v2 App. Why be so shy about its take up?

The MD of the new Test and Trace App explains the new features of the App and why he believes the Island should embrace it

The Isle of Wight has again been chosen as a testing ground for the new Test and Trace Coronavirus App. This time it’s going to work in a different way
