Prime Minister Andrew Holness says some of the data collected through the JAMCOVID-19 app will not be destroyed until after the pandemic.
However, details surrounding the specific data to be kept were not disclosed by Holness at a press conference held on Sunday.
A criminal investigation is ongoing into security vulnerabilities surrounding the app, which was created by the Amber Group, aimed at managing the country s Controlled Entry Programme. As it relates to the situation with vulnerabilities of the JAMCOVID site, you will recall in previous press conferences we gave assurances that all data related to tracking and geo-fencing, that those would be immediately destroyed upon the ending of the quarantine process for geo-fencing. My understanding is that is done currently now, Holness stated.
