Earlier this year, the PM promised of a fully operational “world beating” track & trace app by 1 June
It was one of the govt's much touted 5 conditions to easing lockdown
Four months late, comes an app which appears only to be able to process tests that have been done by Serco.

Four months late, comes an app which appears only to be able to process tests that have been done by Serco.
If this “NHS” test & trace app, run by a private firm, doesn’t accept tests done by the NHS only by an outsourced private firm, this need to be changed
Like testing, an app is crucial
Germany introduced their’ on 15 June & it had 12m downloads in a week.
