Top medical officer ‘so proud’ of COVID app uptake

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says he is “so proud” of the “gratifying” number of Australians who have downloaded the COVIDSafe contract tracing app. More than 1.13 million Australians have downloaded the app since its launch on Sunday evening, a result Dr Murphy labelled “exciting”. “I am really excited over a million Australians downloaded it just in the first evening. That is an amazing and really gratifying outcome. I am so proud of my fellow citizens,” he told reporters. “It has been really great, the uptake by the Australian community, because they know this is about protecting them, it is about helping our public health officials do their job.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
