Figures show 65% of people have installed the app and the local MP believes it could help get the economy moving again.



The number of people on the Isle of Wight who have downloaded the trial phone app that tracks COVID-19 has exceeded all expectations, the island's MP has told Sky News.

Conservative MP Bob Seely says that figures from last Friday show that 65% of people who could download the app have done so.



He said: "We are well ahead of what we hoped. When the figure goes above 20% you begin to get good evidence, over 50% and you start suppressing the virus and over 60% and you get the benefits of the app working."
