On Monday Matt Hancock, the health secretary, will announce that 141,000 residents of the Isle of Wight will become the first people in the country to test the new NHS Coronavirus detector app.
Two to three weeks later we are all going to be asked to download it.
The principle of contact tracing is centuries old but the addition of the app is designed to automate much of the basic work and make it feasible to track and trace infections across a whole country.
Senior government officials and scientists are frank that its success or failure will determine how far and how fast we can ease the current stringent lockdown measures.
“This is completely critical to the success of the next stage,” said one senior government official. “We really need it to work.”
