We currently publish data on the number of app downloads.

Work is underway to establish what additional information can be published about app usage bearing in mind that app users are anonymous. We are considering the possibility of providing data related to how many people have reported symptoms via the app.

We will not be able to provide app-related data by constituency as the app only asks users to provide the first half of their postcode.
