The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation has just published the Radar COVID app in the App Store. But what is this? What is it about?
IPhone COVID Radar
With everything that has happened with the coronavirus in the world, time passes and apps that we really need are emerging, such as this COVID radar for iPhone . Its name may tell you what it is, but we are here to tell you.
Before us we have software that aims to detect contacts in order to track them . For this reason, Google and Apple teamed up to create a registry of exposure to COVID-19.
Of course, it does not spy on people far from it. Users have to download the app that is available in the App Store for the iPhone and thus they can keep track of COVID contacts .
Use bluetooth to detect if you have been around a person who has tested positive . Of course, for it to work well, people have to download and install it. If nobody has it even if you download it, nothing is fixed. So it could be interesting for all users to install it.
How can you start using it?
You just have to install it, give it permissions and use bluetooth. Then, you activate ” Radar COVID ” and start tracking the contacts. It also shows you the level of exposure, if you have been in risk areas or near a positive. Do not worry that as soon as you have it, it will send you notices.
And of course, if you have tested positive, you will see a button to indicate it. It is important to report out of solidarity. Keep in mind that it is anonymous and the info is confidential.
Is it already available? It is expected to be in a few days, on August 10 . From there you can start using it to go safer on the street.
