A spokeswoman for the center stressed that the application would be voluntary, so its effectiveness would depend on how many people use it.

It will simply establish that the mobile device of the person using it was at some point near the mobile device of another person who was confirmed to have a coronavirus ”Said D. Brunevičienė about the principles of the program.
