Covid Symptom Tracker, a new app, has been launched by Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals and King’s College London university  to try to understand more about the way COVID-19, or Coronavirus, is manifesting itself and why some people get the disease more severely than others. It also hopes to map where outbreaks are happening.

There are fake apps and scams around but this one is genuine and everyone who can is encouraged to sign up for it at https://covid.joinzoe.com/

All you have to  do is spend a minute each day answering quick questions, even if you feel well.

By doing this you can contribute to research on COVID-19 in partnership with leading scientific institutions.

Note, you are advised to check the access preferences you give the app. If you untick any, check again every day.
