New Zealand is also using it. Our Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau) made a statement just yesterday about it, saying that if it eventually comes in to use in Canada, it will be strictly voluntary. To this point, there is a lot of concern about privacy issues.
(I personally doubt that we will be using it.)

We don't have the app available yet here, but they are testing it on The Isle of White this week. Thats a small holiday island off the South coast near Southampton, if it's successful they are going to make it available to all. It's sounds like a good idea, they say it's a bit dodgy on the security issues though. You must be doing something right down there you don't seem to have had many deaths. We are just over 28000 still rising although slower, but they are talking of easing the so called lockdown soon, I think it's a bit early myself. But then, the longer it goes on business is going to suffer, and we all suffer financially. I wouldn't want to be one of the people having to make decisions about that , it's a nightmare. Take care , keep safe.

The Australian government launched a COVID-19 coronavirus tracking app on Sunday in an effort to curb the virus’ spread.
The voluntary COVIDSafe app aims to speed up the current method of manually locating and contacting individuals who have been near someone with COVID-19. When two devices that have downloaded COVIDSafe are in close proximity to one another, the app remembers the users, date, time, distance and duration of contact.
When someone is diagnosed with COVID-19, they can permit health officials to view their encrypted contact information and use the captured contacts from the app to inform any relevant individuals that they may have been exposed.
The app does not track location, and health officials will not reveal the identity of the infected person.
