They hope it can be used to better understand symptoms of Covid-19, understand how fast the virus is spreading in certain areas, identify high risk areas in the country and identify who is most at risk by better understanding symptoms linked to health conditions.

It relies on people contributing and adding their coronavirus symptoms.

So far, it has been used by more than two million people across the UK.

In Bracknell, 2.520 people have uploaded data, including any symptoms they have experienced.
