UK’s COVID-19 tracing app launched before DPIA completion

It has emerged that the UK’s Coronavirus Test and Trace programme failed to complete a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) prior to its launch.

Rolled out on May 28, the NHS Test and Trace Service is said to help the UK return back to normal life after the pandemic by tracking down and isolating those who have been in contact with anybody who has tested positive for COVID-19.
