COVIDSafe app

Entirely up to you, but for what it’s worth, I’ve just signed up for the COVIDSafe app for a few good reasons.
1. It’s the quickest way to get governments to lift some of the more extreme social distancing rules, some of which are disproportionately impacting rural communities.
2. It will help to protect the health and safety of our more vulnerable people. If they know early they may have been exposed, treatment will start quicker and improve their prognosis.
3. It will help to protect all of our frontline health workers and other people who don’t have the option of working from home.
4. I’m convinced the restrictions and protocols put in place can accommodate legitimate privacy concerns that people have raised.
5. We are all in this together, so let’s use every tool available, including technology.
It’s entirely voluntary and I’m not looking for an argument with anyone. If you don’t agree, then don’t download the app.
I will be politely encouraging my friends and family to do the same thing. And I will be deleting it the moment this is over!

Stay safe and keep making good decisions.
