We are currently at approximately 35% penetration in respect of the app. The international evidence suggests that we need 25% for it to be effective, so we are well ahead of that, and I thank everybody for that. I will urge a word of caution when the Deputy states that people have lost confidence. Let us be very careful about what we say about this. It is a very important weapon in our arsenal against this awful virus. It is being used and is proving effective. I do not believe there has been a loss of confidence in the app whatsoever. It is working very well-----
