Corona App in Italy

Italy : Already over two million Downloads is one of the Italian Corona App "Immuni"App for almost two weeks. The functions are not enabled country-wide, which should happen in the course of this month. As in Germany, the source code of the App is openly available and is based on the contact trace via Bluetooth. The storage of data is decentralized. The App asks for no personal data and, for holiday-makers is particularly important, among other things, on German support.

Corona App in the UK

UK : The British Corona App will continue to be tested and has problems to contend with. Unlike in Germany, not here yet on the technical specifications of Google and Apple for a decentralized System. The BBC reported that in the for weeks, running Test on the in the South of England Isle of Wight last week, a second Version in operation was gone. Because of the only gangs there are, however, problems with Apple devices. That's why am thinking of the System entirely on the decentralized approach – which is likely to lead to further delays.

Offered in cooperation between the government and the company Telefónica offers in case of suspicion, self-assessment tests to symptoms and contact details of the competent Authorities.
