The data sets generated by smartphones, computers, apps and people's use of them, such as that data collected by Apple and Google, were used by public health officials, researchers and journalists to map population or district-level activity and movement, leading to the very interesting charts, graphs and visualisations in news and current affairs reports and features seeking to map and analyse the spread of COVID and its impact on social and economic activity. With much at stake in terms of public health concerns at a critical juncture of the COVID pandemic, the Australian government emphasised that it was keen to adopt a 'consent-based' model, hence its interest in adapting the Singapore TraceTogether app.	./cache/cord-030529-2wkes9nk.txt	./txt/cord-030529-2wkes9nk.txt
