Book 28: Key Info on Contact-Tracing Apps
Channel: Book 28
Date: 2020-05-25

This presentation is meant to give key information about the proposed contact-tracing app to help control the spread of COVID-19 in the UK. I - Isadore - researched and made this video as the librarian for Book 28 Library, a small LGBTIQ+ library currently at the Outside Project in London. The information is correct to the best of my knowledge on the 25th May 2020. You can send me corrections and comments @book28library on Twitter or to book28.library@gmail.com.
