The Scottish Government has unveiled a raft of new measures in the ongoing fight against coronavirus. From Monday, NHS Scotland contact tracing technology will be tested in three health board areas.
The pilot, which is expected to last two weeks, will allow NHS Fife, NHS Lanarkshire and NHS Highland to test out the software which contact tracers will use to collect the information that they need digitally.
Health Secretary Jeane Freeman revealed the programme today at the latest daily briefing in Edinburgh.She said the scheme builds on existing contact tracing technology in place across the NHS, and will allow health boards to trace more contacts faster.
