In the midst of the Coronavirus COVID19 crisis, and after the declaration of the State of Alarm throughout Spain , the civic conscience of most people is beginning to be noticed. And, to raise awareness even more, we have technology, since an app against the virus will arrive soon.
The development of the application, which is being carried out by large companies such as Telefonica or Google among many others, began as an initiative of the Community of Madrid. Although it is something that has already been seen in other countries and that has been effective.
The installation and use of this app will be voluntary, unlike in other countries
Vista the usefulness that the application has had in other countries, and the initiative of the community of Madrid, the Government of the country has joined. The application is intended to be available throughout the country, including the autonomous communities.
What this application will allow, in addition to knowing the telephone numbers of each CCAA, will be knowing the symptoms of Coronavirus and putting it in the knowledge of the authorities. This is to diagnose possible cases remotely without saturating the he alth center.

In addition, it will also allow you to create maps from the knowledge obtained and from GPS. These maps will show the concentration of people and infections and will allow us to know in which areas there is a greater number of cases of infection by COVID19.
Unlike in other countries, this app will be voluntary. In other words, nobody will force us to download it and, therefore, there will be no control of the population that has installed the application. Nor will compliance with the quarantine be controlled. Required points that can make this initiative lose effectiveness.
Of course this initiative by the Government will serve to further raise awareness among the citizens of our country. As soon as it is launched and operational, we will inform you about it and all the functions enabled in it.
