COVID app to make workplaces safer: Westacott

Business Council chief Jennifer Westacott has encouraged workers to download the government’s COVIDSafe app, telling Sky News it will assist in making workplaces safer. The contract tracing app, launched by the government on Sunday, keeps a log of “handshakes” made with people’s phones via Bluetooth and would be used by health authorities to assist in the tracing of confirmed coronavirus cases. Ms Westacott said the app will “allow us to get on with our lives”. “We will be encouraging employers around the country to encourage their teams to upload the app,” she said. “I think it will make our workplace safer and it will allow us to get on with our lives.” Image: Getty Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
