Ireland's contact-tracing app has done so well that US states want to use it

Governments have taken note. "There are a number of other countries and states in the US talking to our vendor about reskinning the app and utilising that," Fran Thompson, chief information officer at the HSE, said in a statement.

Colm Harte, NearForm's technical director, told Business Insider that NearForm has held talks with officials in the UK, which has yet to launch a contact-tracing app it promised would roll out nationally in May.

While 37% is good penetration compared to contact-tracing apps in other countries, questions remain about whether the download rate will tail off, and whether the app will be effective in curbing the spread of the virus.
