The Isle of Wight phase of the app, which completed in June, has provided valuable information that we will now take forward as we develop an app which supports the entire NHS Test and Trace service.
We have actively engaged with other countries since March 2020 when we started work to develop an app. We are sharing learning and best practice through regular engagement with international partners, including Germany.
