The phone tells you if you were close to someone with the virus

The phone tells you if you were close to someone with the virus

"Covid Trace" is the application that tells you if you have been near someone infected. Some states have put it into operation to avoid the chain of infections. Covid Trace sends you a notification via Pop-Up if anyone has tested positive for Covid-19 and you have met them in recent days.

This certainly does not prevent you from becoming infected, but it does inform you that you may have contracted the virus and thus become isolated and not meet other people.

It is also achieved through Location and Bluetooth synchronization.

In the conditions of the pandemic we are living in, at the top of the task are not only the doctors who are treating the patients, but also the ITs that are trying to put in the function of prevention, the technological developments.
