Overall, the Test and Protect touch-screening programme in Scotland has tracked more than 900 cases since 22 June, Sturgeon said.
She said only 3 out of 925 more people may not be contacted.
More than 5,000 contacts have been found, 98.8% of whom have been effectively contacted, the Prime Minister said.
CONTACT WITH TRACKING APPLICATIONS ” IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTAIN THE COVID-19 SPREAD WITHOUT SUPPORT ‘
Contact curricula are unlikely to be effective in reducing the spread of coronavirus unless there is widespread adoption among the population and is supported by other public aptitude measures, scientists said.
Their findings, published in the lancet journal Digital Health, are based on a review of knowledge of 15 clinical studies published between January and mid-April this year.
The researchers, led by University College London, also stated that evidence of the effectiveness of automated touch search systems is limited and that there is an “urgent need for further assessment of those applications”.
They added that even under positive assumptions, where up to 80% of smartphone owners across the UK use a touch search app and more than 90% of known touches stick to quarantine tips, other public fitness measures such as physical distance and interior closure. spaces – it would still be necessary to keep the Covid-19 infection under Array

Nicola Sturgeon said restrictions in Aberdeen could be eased from next week.

BLAIR – MASSIVE TESTING NEEDED
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has reiterated his calls for a mass across the UK to fight coronavirus.
He told Sky News: “Actually, there are two things that prefer mass testing. Number one: Most people who contract Covid-19 are asymptomatic, in other words, suffering mild or non-existent symptoms.
“And, therefore, if you only examine other people with symptoms, it doesn’t detect a lot of other people who, asymptomatic, can still spread the disease. That’s the first point.
“The time is that one thing is for the government to allow other people to do certain activities, but the question is how to get the public to accept as true that they actually do those things.
“So you can tell people ‘get back to work,’ but if they don’t feel safe, they’ll be reluctant.
“And if you want to reopen schools, universities, painting places, if you want to repaint outside of painting, I think the only way to do it is to do large-scale testing and that’s why we want to move forward.”
