TrackTogether: Coronavirus app & 'spread the survey' campaign

Coronavirus has caused a global suspension of sports with no return date in mind for many football competitions due to the severity of the situation.

Some countries have taken the steps of not only banning sporting events for the foreseeable future but also to enacting lockdown-style protocol, with people only permitted to leave the house for necessary reasons such as food shopping or work if their jobs are deemed essential.

The spread of Covid-19 is unprecedented but a new app called TrackTogether says it is working with researchers at leading universities in the hope of combating the virus in a global initiative.
