About one in five adults of all ages in the UK had the NHS Covid-19 app but have deleted it from their phone, with a significantly greater proportion of younger people having done so, a poll suggests. Among adults of all ages, that proportion was about 20%. “We know both that the number of people downloading the NHS Covid-19 app was never as high as desired and that some people who downloaded it have already deleted it,” said Prof Henry Potts, of University College London, who specialises in the use of technology in healthcare. Savanta ComRes interviewed 2,137 UK adults aged 18 years and older online between 9 and 11 July. Data was weighted to be representative of all UK adults by age, sex, region and socioeconomic group.
