A Google and Apple recently announced a joint proposal to help combat the Covid-19, establishing mechanisms in Android and iOS that would help prevent chains of contagion.
As The Verge says, the system would depend on the connections Bluetooth to establish a network and data smart phones who have been in contact with each other. The idea is that the applications of the health authority can access this data, being able to determine if infected had contact with other people.
Both Google and Apple intend to launch a dedicated app in the middle of the month. May but over time the intention is that it be implemented in the operating systems themselves. YOU CEOs of the two companies, Sundari Pichai (Google) and Tim Cook (Apple), guaranteed in publications made on Twitter that ensure that the process will be transparent and that the user’s data will remain private.
To help public health officials curb the spread of # COVID19, Google and @Manzana We are working on a contact tracking approach designed with strong controls and protections for user privacy. @ @tim_cook and I am committed to working together on these efforts. https://t.co/T0j88YBcFu

Tracking contacts can help delay the spread of COVID-19 and can be done without compromising user privacy. We are working with @ @sundarpichai AND @Google to help health officials take advantage Bluetooth technology in a way that also respects transparency and consent. https://t.co/94XlbmaGZV
