+* 4 (5th?) May: Contact tracing app starts being tested on the Isle of Wight of both proprietary NHSX technology and Apple/Google API ([link](https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/05/nhs-covid-19-the-uks-coronavirus-contacts-tracing-app-explained/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAAsSPjPMG9k_WL4BhU1LS4wzZC0Lh1qv0-8dvOGL6fyPciViqmWzD_m2C9HZK_uAmppeNrLfxBQH0VRUPB9Hmaf_ua40wRE2urFQB_e3ONFgu7pJHr-D0xNNJOBWx5ZvZ2gFJgThdGKrt9t-zKo1N_3ezAkMxnxtMDhw0It-ujAd))

+  * Apple/Google APIs are generally seen as more privacy-sensitive
+* Sometime in May: NHSX tech abandoned for Apple/Google APIs
+* 13 Aug: Trial of new app in Isle of Wight + Volunteers elsewhere (and in Newham, apparently) ([link](https://www.digitalhealth.net/2020/08/covid-19-new-trial-nhs-contact-tracing-app/))
+  * Seems to be first time QR check-in was added
+* 24 Sept: Contact tracing app launches in England & Wales ([link](https://www.digitalhealth.net/2020/09/nhs-covid-19-contact-tracing-app-launched-england-wales/))
