The government has announced it is to trial a new contact-tracing app on the Isle of Wight as part of the fight against coronavirus.

It will then alert others who may have come into contact with the user to tell them to isolate for 14 days. If the first person’s test comes back negative, the app tells both them and their contacts to come out of isolation and carry on as normal.
