This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Tracing apps are not being installed on peoples' phones without their permission.

Android and Apple phones have had their systems updated so that, if a user downloads an official app from a public health authority, this can share info to help alert you and other users of exposure to Covid-19.
