Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what alternative access arrangements he has made for people who do not have the necessary (a) phone and (b) other hardware to download the covid-19 tracking app.
The National Health Service COVID-19 contact tracing app is part of the wider NHS Test and Trace system, which ensures that there are multiple ways to access testing and contact tracing services. Anyone who has symptoms that are consistent with COVID-19, whether or not they are an app user, will be able to report symptoms and get a test to find out if they have the virus.
