This project will enable NHS, government and academic staff, or members of other organisations working on their behalf to gain rapid access to the COVID-19 Symptoms Tracker dataset to support the UK national response to the COVID-19 emergency. Researchers will analyse data from the C-19 Symptom Tracker app, which is now used by close on 2m people, to understand the spread of the illness and present these data to key decision makers and public health officials to help them identify areas that need focused attention through, for example, more targeted social distancing campaigns or diagnostic testing.

This project will provide a rapid means of accessing the C-19 Symptom Tracker dataset for NHS, government, academic, or other organisations undertaking research in response to the national COVID-19 emergency.
