The European Commission (EC) shared a Q&A on safe and efficient use of mobile tracing apps across the EU.
What is a contact tracing and warning app?
A contact tracing and warning app is voluntarily installed and used to warn users if they have been in proximity for a certain duration to a person who reported to have been tested positive of COVID-19. In case of an alert, the app may provide relevant information from health authorities such as advice to get tested or to self-isolate, and who to a contact.
For more details, please see the press release from the European Commission.
