This is how Radar COVID works, the app to track contacts with COVID-19

The app, which does not use geolocation or collect any user data, can already be downloaded from Google Play and the App Store, but it will not be fully operational until September 15. Radar COVID is a mobile application created by the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence to warn of coronavirus infections and thus prevent the spread of COVID-19 . Specifically, this service uses the bluetooth of mobile phones to notify its users if they have been within two or three meters of an infected person in the 14 days prior to a new diagnosis. It does not use geolocation or collect any data from users, but instead assigns random numbers to the mobile phones of citizens who voluntarily install it to warn them that they have to contact the health authorities for having recently been close to an infected person, whom it is never identified. The application indicates the day on which the exposure to contact occurred, but it does not reveal the identity of the user to whom it was exposed, or the identification of the device, or the time or place where the exposure occurred. Upon receipt of a notification, the application provides the exposed user with information for the adoption of preventive and assistance measures, in order to help contain the spread of the virus. Thus, the app guarantees the security and privacy of the users and is 100% anonymous , so it does not ask for the name, the telephone number, or an email. Radar COVID can be downloaded on Google Play , in the case of devices with Android operating system, and in the App Store in the case of using the iOS operating system, which uses the Apple brand. The app is now available and registers contacts, but now it is necessary for the autonomous communities to integrate it into their regional health services in order to notify those infected and for this tool to send alerts. The Executive's estimate is that this application will be fully operational as of September 15 . The pilot test was carried out on the Canary Island of La Gomera between June 29 and July 31, a period in which four waves of fictitious outbreaks of COVID-19 were simulated. During this period the app has achieved " highly satisfactory results ", since it has managed to double the data of manual trackers. tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech tech
