Two hours and 14 minutes later, the answer arrives. No, the StayAway Covid application did not have to warn Rui Rio that he was near an infected person. with the Covid-19 virus. Or rather … The application would have to warn you, but only if many “yes” were confirmed. If António Lobo Xavier had the application installed on his mobile phone, if both had Bluetooth activated, if they had been less than 2 meters apart for 15 minutes, and if Lobo Xavier inserted the code for his positive diagnosis.
The discussion took place on Twitter.
STAYAWAY COVID alerts you only if the infected person 1) had the application active, 2) was within 2 meters of you for more than 15 minutes, 3) received a code from the doctor when the diagnosis was positive, and 4) that code in the application.

The story begins at 2:13 pm on Monday, the October 5 holiday. Rui Rio, PSD leader, criticizes the mobile application on the social network: “Once I was at the meeting of the State Council, the StayAway Covid application should have alerted me. And it did not alert. “
The Social Democrat did not write the name of the infected advisor, but between the lines was the name of António Lobo Xavier, infected by SARS-CoV-2, with whom he was in the Council of State that met last Tuesday, at the Palacio Cidadela, in Cascais, for four hours (from 2pm to 6pm).
Council of State. The president and the advisers who were in contact with Lobo Xavier tested negative for Covid-19
The company responded to Rui Rio hours later, at 4:27 pm. Through Twitter, of course. “StayAway Covid alerts you only if the infected person 1) had the application active, 2) was within 2 meters of you for more than 15 minutes, 3) received a code from the doctor when the diagnosis was positive and 4) has entered that code in the app “.
Lobo Xavier was in the Council of State five days before testing positive to the virus that causes Covid-19 and there is no other positive case among the advisers.
Lobo Xavier: “I was not the focus of any outbreak”
The tests of the President of the Republic and the other 15 councilors were negative, as well as that of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, invited to the meeting. German politics, unlike Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and António Costa, will remain isolated until Tuesday.
During the four hours that the meeting lasted, two councilors were closer to Lobo Xavier, as can be seen in the video posted on the website of the Presidency of the Republic. At the table, arranged in an ‘O’, the former CDS leader was flanked by Francisco Louçã and Leonor Beleza.
Rui Rio was diagonally ahead, more than two meters.
