An issue with England’s Covid-19 smartphone app, launched to curb the spread of the virus, which meant it could not accept around a third of test results has been resolved, Reuters reported, quoting the government.

“Everyone who receives a positive test result can log their result on the app,” a health ministry spokesman said.

“A minority of people, such as hospital patients, who were unable to log their positive result can now request a code when contacted by NHS Test and Trace to input on their app.”
