Although it seems that the coronavirus has passed, nothing could be further from the truth. It is expected to be with us for a few more months in the best forecasts, even years in the worst. That is why it is better to be safe than to have to go through the months that we have passed again. Germany is getting on and this week plans to launch the application that they have made jointly, Google and Apple.
Germany has been one of the few European countries that have officially confirmed that it will use the application that the two big techies have created together. The API of the Apple and Google application has been made available to any Government or entity that has requested it. The end is nothing more than to be able to make an application with the idea of be able to prevent and control infections.
In the beginning, the application was much discussed. Many agencies, entities, individuals and companies, raised the cry in the sky due to the way they treat the privacy of users. Basically the debate was to see if the data should be used centrally or locally. Apple and Google bet on this last option.
Germany finally agreed that user data would be stored locally on the telephones that communicated via Bluetooth. If any of them are positive, a health alert will be launched to the appropriate organs and also to other users.
The Minister of Health Jens Spahn In an interview with the German broadcaster ARD, he stated that finally and after having overcome some problems in managing connectivity between devices through the aforementioned Bluetooth, this week the will be released for all users (they want).
