~Galleryyuhself~ Yesterday I read some fake news about government’s step down program from quarantine. It turned out that the measures came from Ireland. The government’s letterhead was not used, the information was taken with skepticism. However. that got me to thinking about the types of APP’s that other countries are putting into place to deal with a post-Covid-19 world.

Example proposal for a location-based COVID-19 contact tracing app: Contacts of individual A (and all individuals using the app) are traced using GPS co-localisations with other app users, supplemented by scanning QR codes displayed on high-traffic public amenities where GPS is too coarse. Individual A requests a SARS-COV-2 test (using the App) and their positive test result triggers an instant notification to individuals who have been in close contact. The app advises isolation for the case (individual A) and quarantine of their contacts.[1]
