The epidemiological impact of the NHS COVID-19 app

@fabiochiusi L'efficacia del contact tracking è stata valutata e funziona, con una diminuzione misurabile in infezioni. Ecco il paper su Nature: https://t.co/17YhR8eh9w

The UK has demonstrated that Exposure Notifications saved lives. Similar elsewhere. Australia is in an even better position to benefit from an app like this due to the (relatively) low case rate. Even if the benefit is small, _every bit counts_. https://t.
