Coronavirus Australia

Free iOS, Android www.health.gov.au

This is the official app put out by the Australian Government to help citizens like you and I keep track of the situation with COVID-19. It provides stats on how many current cases there are per state, a symptom checker, and an advice section that links to articles about things such as financial support and getting tested. Unfortunately, it all falls down a bit as it’s not very clear. You can click through to get to the website for information on what your state is allowed to do but there’s no simple list of points as you might want or even expect. Even the website isn’t as clear about that as most people would like. It also provides news from the government but it comes through many hours after it’s already hit media everywhere else. The Coronavirus Australia app is a good one to have installed, but you can’t rely on it completely. Definitely grab it but make sure you’re checking other sources if you’re concerned or unclear about the current pandemic.
