right, this is what I meant. Running a covid tracing app requires a certain number of people. Splitting those people into "govt employees" and "contractors" doesn't reduce the number of people involved, it just adds an arbitrary boundary between them, which hinders their efficiency.

It increases it, because (even optimally) you need the same number of people doing the main work, and as supervisors, HR support, etc., for the main workers, plus you have additional contracting and contract management overhead on both sides.
