What the petition asks
The Chinese government successfully flattened their Covid-19 outbreak in part by implementing a contact tracing app. The U.K. government should implement a similar scheme with the understanding that the data will be curated by the NHS.
This scheme could play a central role in saving many lives. The public is ready to see this measure put in place.
