UK test and trace system is on course for June 1: Health minister


LONDON: Britain’s health minister said the health service’s Covid-19 smartphone app was working on the Isle of Wight, where it is being trialled, and the country’s test and trace operation would be ready to launch on June 1 when the lockdown is further eased.
“We are absolutely clear that the test and trace system needs to be in place, and that is on track for delivery on June 1,” Matt Hancock said on Thursday.
“The app is working in the Isle of Wight. We want to make sure this whole system lands well and supports the ability safely to make changes to social distancing rules.”
