Minister for Government Services Stuart Robert has taken the opportunity to clear the air about what Australia's COVID-19 trace tracking app would entail, saying the app was still "some weeks away" from going live. Robert clarified the government is not working with Apple and Google, and that it is not tracking nor doing any surveillance. "Currently, if someone contracts the coronavirus or COVID-19 virus, we go through a manual tracing process to ask them who have they been close to, so we can contact them to see if they've got any symptoms and encourage them to get tested," he said.
