A brand new 'contact-tracing' app will be tested in the Isle of Wight in an attempt to track who may have caught coronavirus.
From Thursday 7 May, everyone on the Isle of Wight will be encouraged to download the app, which has been made for the the UK government.
The government hopes it will help prevent another surge in the number of people who get the virus once lockdown restrictions are relaxed.
However, downloading the app is voluntary and people on the Isle of Wight don't have to use it.
