Spain will use the Apple and Google system
A few weeks ago we let you know that Apple and Google had signed an alliance to create a joint system with which to track the Coronavirus COVID19 . A historic alliance that is due to the pandemic that is ravaging almost the entire planet.
This system takes advantage of the fact that the vast majority of users use Android or iOS to notify us, completely anonymously and thanks to the connection Bluetooth between devices, if we have been in contact in the last 14 days with someone who has tested positive for Coronavirus COVID19
Spain joins other countries such as Germany or Italy in using the Apple and Google system
In this way, cases could be tracked to isolate them. This alliance has not gone unnoticed by governments. Many of them have shown their interest in it and even their intention to use it. And now we know that Spain will be one of those countries that will use the Apple and Google system to track the Coronavirus.
Coronavirus screening would be done through its own app. But yes, making use of the platform and system that Google and Apple have shared. Apparently, the tracking system would be included in the existing auto-detection app.
The operation of the Apple and Google platform
As explained from the Twitter of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, the first pilot project of the application would begin at the beginning of June.This pilot project would begin in Canarias and, if it worked, its use would be extended to the rest of the country.
Using the system of Apple and Google seems, at least, a success. Many countries have opted for it, given the advantages that two large companies may have to make their technologies available to them. Even more so when it comes to the most used operating systems.
Of course, until its release, there is a while left and we will have to wait and see if it works. But, of course, we hope that it works and that people make use of it.
