The app was used extensively by New South Wales on 23 July and 25 July. There were 544 connections on 31 July and, of course, 567 contacts in total since 1 August. So the app is as a part of a suite measures and is actually being effectively deployed by states and territories with the contact tracing that they're using. I would continue to urge Australians to follow all health advice during the pandemic, I'd continue to urge Australians continue to use QR codes in terms of contact tracing at venues to allow contact tracers to access and find out who's been where, and I'd continue to urge Australians to use the COVIDSafe app and ensure the COVIDSafe app is open so state and territory contact tracers can use it as they incorporate it into their contact-tracing measures.
