Apple and Google launch software for coronavirus tracking application

According to foreign media, Telegrafi traces, it offers developers access to the added use of Bluetooth to solve a problem that existing iPhone apps sometimes fail to track each other.

However, the owners of Android and IOS equipment will have to carry out the system updates.

Meanwhile, several countries, including Great Britain, have followed a different approach.

The launching of these applications along with updates of the operating system will be an appropriate moment for development and approval of the applications for tracking proximity”, said Marcel Salathe, an epidemiologist at the Swiss research institute EPFL.

Apple and Google said public health agencies from 22 countries had already sought to test the system.
