Apple and Google are joining forces to use the mobile against the coronavirus

One of the reasons for the pandemic of CoVID-19 is being so aggressive is your extreme virality. It is exceptionally easy for a person to infect another without even being aware of them.

For this reason, many of the measures that they are taking the governments are focused on limiting the contact between people, forcing them to have a minimum distance in social interactions.

To help in this strategy against the coronavirus Apple and Google have announced a partnership that will engage their mobile, the iPhone and the Android devices.

The history of Google Maps serves to see if it meets the quarantine

Google has published multiple reports of difrentes countries and areas muetsra the movement of the icudadanos using Google Maps data.

Control of users respected the privacy

The intent of both companies are going to launch several APIs for applications and services and other integrated solutions within Android and iOS. The idea is that using bluetooth technology can alert a user as to whether he is or not in contact with someone who has the coronavirus.

As is logical, this plan will develop very quickly, although it does not dispense with the solutions that increase the privacy.

A plan of two phases against the coronavirus

The first part of this development will take place in may, with both companies by releasing the first APIs

that make compatible the mobile Android and iOS apps of the governments. These apps will be available both in the Google Play Store and the AppStore.

In the second part, which will be launched in the coming months, the two companies will develop a traceability platform of contacts that will use the Bluetooth technology. However, Google and Apple indicate that they only used data from people who register, not the default world. There is more data in this PDF.

The idea of the platform is to use identifiers, not personal enable you to notify any user if it has been or not in contact with an infected person, without knowing who he is or anything about it.

In the next few weeks we will know more, and we will see what governments decide to make use of this platform.
