3 Norway: EATING THE BATTERIES

4 Germany, Austria, Switzerland: DITCHED

5 Italy, Spain: DITCHED

6 UK: Carrying on regardless, but the App it appears does not work as well as claimed

Battery issues, App switches off by accident

NOTE: All of the above countries are doing a mobile #tracingapp—all except the UK are ditching centralisation—and carrying on with proximity notification using the Apple-Google method.

Also I missed off Ireland and few other countries which ditched centralisation. #Covid19UK

Dear @MattHancock, I doubt you are reading but you really should.

We all want this @nhsx App to work properly, but so far it sounds like it is a bit of a dog. And privacy invasive.

Please have a rethink before it is too late.
