Effective national leadership and trust in government appear to be prerequisites for countries to achieve widespread digital contact tracing.
Contact tracers are among the many unsung heroes of our public health efforts to control the coronavirus, in Victoria and beyond. But they need help.
Despite disappointing download numbers and almost zero success in tracing COVID-19 infections, Australia is persisting with the COVIDSafe app, while the rest of the world embraces the ‘Gapple’ model.
A rapid launch of tracing and testing combined with localised lockdowns aims to keep the virus under control until a vaccine is found.
The reason the UK contact-tracing apps failed? It fell foul of privacy rules decided in California.
Police departments have suggested using contact tracing approaches to track protesters, raising concerns about data and privacy.
Contact tracing for sexual health has been taking place in England for many years. Why was this workforce ignored in the coronavirus response?

Epidemiological data suggests that 80% of COVID-19 cases can be traced to just 20% of those infected with SARS-CoV-2.
If coronavirus is still circulating, why are we safer now that social distancing measures have been relaxed? A public health expert explains.
