According to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov, 47 percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 said they would install an app on their phone that would allow them to anonymously alert people who have been near them if they had tested positive for COVID-19, and would allow them to be alerted if they had been close to someone else who tests positive. Only 29 percent of respondents from the same age group said they would not install a COVID-19 smartphone tracking app. (That response is much higher than the general population, of which only 35 percent said they’d be willing to install an app that could alert people to their positive COVID-19 test.)
