Finally some data:
Meanwhile, the CECC also revealed on Friday that a contact tracing phone app launched in April by the government has failed to live up to early expectations.
As of last week, the app had been downloaded over 8 million times, but only 29 users had voluntarily uploaded their tracking data after testing positive, according to Chen Tsung-yen, who also serves as deputy CECC chief.
That figure would account for less than 1 percent of the more- than 5,000 COVID-19 cases Taiwan has reported since May 15.
Not very promising - the app could even create a false sense of security when people receive the “all clear” notification when it fact the notification only means one didn’t have contact to those 29 users who chose to upload their positive test result!
