Covid-19: o WHO will launch a detection application

The WHO intends to release an application of contacts for covid-19 that will be offered to those countries that cannot create their own.

Covid-19

Many countries affected by covid-19 have the resources to create an app s, they will be able to use the corresponding application that the World Health Organization (WHO) intends to release.

WHO's Bernardo Mariano told interview with Reuters, that they plan to release a Covid-19 symptom assessment application in May. Any government could release a customized version of the application, but the actual release will help those countries that have no relevant application.

The organization is also considering adding contact tracking and has talked to Apple and Google about use of monitoring technology. Legal and privacy issues have prevented the WHO from moving forward with this software until now. Apple and Google have promised to offer a decentralized system that will keep data anonymous, but there are still concerns that they may misuse the data to make them profit later.

Of course even a simple, basic application that would analyze the symptoms could prove vital. A globally available WHO app could better inform those who do not know what to expect from the coronavirus and encourage more people to take precautions.

Contact tracing, too, can be vital to society after one , as it could more accurately track the spread of the virus and help contain it.
