What are the criteria in terms of transmission rates and ICU capacity?

On the app, the Department of Health stated it will not be open source. My fear is that it will lead to a similar fiasco to that created by the public services card which Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, stated had no lawful basis and, obviously, did not have buy-in from the public.

We need to have buy-in for any app that will be developed.
