Focus on the malfunction Dell ‘Immune application, the system developed by the Bending Spoons agency and chosen by the Italian government to track the infection. After the case raised by the Giornale di Brescia last August 13 – When two Brescian girls reported that Immuni did not notify the exposure, despite the fact that one of the two had tested positive for the hyssop, they had been in close contact several times and both had the tracking system activated – the Republic also reports, in its online edition, the existence of an error in the application code.


Based on what has been rebuilt so far, for some Android smartphone models periodic “exposure checks” were omitted, leaving users in the open for several days in a row. Translated: if someone had found a positive, they would not have received the notification.

For example, in regards to the Huawei P10 held by one of the two girls, whom we contacted in light of the latest developments, the exposure controls last night they hadn’t been used for two weeks, as shown in the screenshot attached to this article, where among other things you can see how they are all at the same time. The same goes for other Android phones supplied to the GdB editorial board journalists where we found the anomaly.

The Prime Minister’s innovation department has let Repubblica know that it is aware of the error, which will be fixed in the next few hours through an update and that “it cannot be said that it affects the validity of the national project.”

How to verify that your controls are up to date? In the phone settings, in the Google services section, click on “exposure notifications” and see if your exposure checks are recent or not.
