Just 6% of positive cases being notified to Covid tracker app

Going by the HSE’s own usage numbers for the application, which stands at 1.3m users, at least 10,455 cases could or should have been uploaded during September, suggesting a shortfall of expected cases of 94%. Photo: Leah Farrell/Rollingnews.ie

Despite mounting concern over the spike in Covid-19 cases, just 6% of positive cases are being notified by the Covid Tracker App.

So few positive cases are now being notified via the app, which was launched in July 2020, that the overall viability of the project has been called into question.
