Is it available now in the U.K.? I have the one that asks how you are feeling each day but this one will track your movements and if you have been in contact with someone else who has Coronavirus

"It could cause panic"

Yeah, because it would be awful if people thought they might die from it and take a course of action to mitigate the risk?

I think, given appropriate data protection, it's an excellent idea.

It just logs your progress and timeline. Its up to you when you want to enter the data. To give them a better understanding where the coronavirus is and how it behaves with the individual. I don't worry about these things of being "tracked". Its a new unknown virus. The more information offered, the better the chance of medical professionals know how to deal with it. Its been really successful in other countries.

I also don't think that the "big brother" aspect is any different to what we take on already just by owning smart devices.

I'd certainly rather be exploited for health than profit.

Too big brother. It won't get disabled once this is over. I won't be installing it, that's for sure.

Is the app available to all then? If so what’s it called?
