Dr Cohn declined to comment when contacted by The Border Mail about a recent Twitter post rejecting encouragement to download the app which Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Australian Community Media this week was also a major step towards easing of COVID-19 related restrictions.

Close to five million people have downloaded the app to date.

Dr Cohn is a high profile, local member of the Greens whose national leader, Adam Bandt has raised privacy concerns about the app's introduction.

"We all want the lockdown to end, but something like this needs to be done properly because the stakes are too high," he said.

"Once it's out, the genie can't be put back in the bottle."

Labor Party member and Albury Council colleague Darren Cameron said he had downloaded the app, but it was Cr Cohn's decision whether she did or not.

"I violently resist any attempts to make it compulsory and as long it is voluntary I don't have a problem with it," he said.

"It is up to Amanda whether she downloads it or not."

Cr Graham Docksey concurred.

"I believe people should do it because there is a bigger need here," he said.

"It's Amanda's personal call what she does."

Cr Cohn also used her Twitter account in late March to reveal why she was feeling "anxious" about catching COVID-19 in her workplace and the possibility some of her most vulnerable patients might fall victim to the virus.

"Doctors, nurses, paramedics and all our amazing support staff in the health system will do whatever we can to save lives," she said.

"But it's not in our hands, it is in yours and please stay home if you can.

"It's going to take not only all three levels of government, but our whole community working together if we are going to get through this."
