So far, 2.8 million people have downloaded the new COVIDSafe app, the prime minister said on Wednesday. "I would ask for millions and millions and millions more to do the same thing," he told reporters in Canberra. Ku-ring-gai Chamber of Commerce president Peter Vickers told AAP it shouldn't be illegal if Australia wanted to avoid a deadly New York City-style outbreak. "In fact he should have ordered Apple and Android to compulsorily down load [sic] the app to all phones in Australia."
