GP: Contact tracing is 'weakest link' and Covid tracking apps should be considered

GP and academic Dr Liam Glynn, who has been tracking the spread of Covid-19 in Ireland, has said that contact tracking apps will have to be considered to determine the level of community transmission of the virus.

Dr Glynn, who is the Professor of General Practice at the Graduate Entry Medical, University of Limerick, and who also practices as a GP in Ballyvaughan, Co Clare told Newstalk Breakfast that while the speed of testing had improved, there was still an issue with delays in contact tracing.
