The NHS Covid-19 app asks users who have been near someone with a positive coronavirus test result to self-isolate for two weeks.
It also allows users to check-in to pubs, restaurants or other venues by scanning a QR code on their phone. They will then get an alert telling them to self-isolated if other visitors at the same time are found to have been infected.
