NHS COVID app closes down – but is the pandemic really over?



For more than two years, the NHS COVID app dictated the lives of those living in the UK, telling people how close they could get to their loved ones.

However, an upgrade to the app will take place from 10.30am on Thursday, telling users that the app is no longer in use, which is expected to take several hours to reach all mobile devices with the app.

  1. £37 BILLION to set up test and trace! For what?!?! The app was utter shi* and still is completely pointless.

    Another opportunity for Tory cronies to squander tax payers money and they get away without question or accountability.

  2. "the COVID app dictated the lives of those living in the UK"

    Sky news is more at fault for "dictating lives" with your constant reporting of bogus deaths from COVID every single day, non stop coverage of COVID

  3. I'm sad this is closing down, as an ex Paramedic who was very fit and healthy, I spent 7 weeks in a coma on ICU, 3 1/2 months on a hospital bed, after dealing with a multitude deaths and distraught families, I feel it is all being forgotten, but it is still going on😢

  4. No thought about the millions of us who are clinically vulnerable and can’t live our our lives. The government are closing down the app just as a new variant of Covid is detected, just goes to show how cruel they are. We’re the 6th highest death toll in the world with 221,943 and rising. Over 24m cases making us the 9th highest in the world.

  5. wow all that money to stop us working and moving around , now the economy's in free fall no need to crush us any more , good job we bailed out the banks and had that 10 years of austerity or debt to be equivalent to 103.1 per cent of national income. around £2.7 trillion or £95,000 per household. could have been way worse lol

  7. Vaccine might be the catalyst for long Covid because all the sufferers I know are double jabbed or quad jabbed! The government does not want to look for answers sadly. 37 billion given to their mates for nothing!
