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.
