Here's a Twitter thread of information about this version of the Covid-19 app. https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309008721838772225?s=20 https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309008721838772225?... See especially this: https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309013275745685511?s=20 https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309013275745685511?... And this: https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309013508152078336?s=20 https://twitter.com/hadleybeeman/status/1309013508152078336?... Please don't forget that there isn't a single UK-wide or England-wide police force. There are many small regional forces across England. Quite often they issue advice that's dumb. You'll see a police force's social media team retweeting a "scam alert" that's an obvious hoax. So, we don't know why they've issued this advice and we don't know if they've based that on sensible factual information of some bit of misinformation.

The article makes it clear that it is a nationwide policy.

  Indeed. Here's the subtitle of the article: > The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has confirmed officers are being told not to install the NHS Covid-19 app on their work smartphones.

    It is a confusingly written article. The subtitle alone would be compatible with the interpretation that NPCC is just reporting on the policy of some of its member forces, rather than actually recommending them to adopt this policy; later on in the article, it implies that it is actually the NPCC's own policy not just NPCC reporting on its member forces' policies. If the subtitle was changed to: "The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has confirmed it has recommended officers be told not to install the NHS Covid-19 app on their work smartphones" it would be clearer, if that is indeed the correct takeaway from this confusing article.
