Recommendation
It is welcome that the Government decided to stop the development of the centralised model for their contact tracing and is now working on a decentralised model instead. However, privacy issues remain. To build trust with users, which has been shaken by high-profile missteps, the Government should introduce legislation which defines what data will be collected, how long it can be held, when it will be deleted. Such legislation should include a ban on contact tracing data being shared for any purpose other than combating the spread of Coronavirus.
