Subject: Official Information request - Bluetooth during the August 2021
COVID-19 outbreak
 
Dear Ministry of Health,

I seek all statistics, information and reports held about the usage of
Bluetooth by contact tracers during the August 2021 COVID-19 outbreak.

Specifically, is there any information (including demographic data) on how
many cases:

— were asked if they had been using the Bluetooth functionality?

— were using the Bluetooth functionality?

— were asked to upload their Bluetooth keys to the NCTS?

— had their Bluetooth keys sent out to the general public?

I also ask whether contact tracers, or the scripts they are following,
have forgotten about Bluetooth functionality.

I also ask that this request be considered urgently, as it appears only
one Bluetooth key has been sent out this entire outbreak.

Yours faithfully,

Christian P
