Contact tracing will be integrated into Apple and Google’s new systems to warn of a coronavirus risk contact. The novelty announced this Monday by the two giants makes it possible to receive on the smartphone the notification of having been in contact with a positive person in Covid-19 without the need to install a specific application. As you immediately recalled, this feature (exposure notification) had already been announced on April 24 and was created for countries that have not yet created their own app. In other words, it will not impact Immuni, the application sought after by the innovation ministry that, however, has reached the threshold of 5 million downloads, reaching only 13% of the population with smartphones. So from a technological point of view, nothing changes. In fact, to be precise, Italy could adopt it, but only for the iPhone. The system still requires the intervention of the country’s health authority to manage the data. Data that Apple and Google do not intend to manage
As the next step in our work with public health authorities on exposure notifications, we are making it easier and faster to use the notification system without the need to create and maintain an application, ”Apple and Google said in a statement. “Exposure Notifications Express offers another option for health authorities to integrate their current contact tracking operations with technology without compromising the fundamental principles of the user privacy and security project.”
