Use recommends Apple-Google tracking

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (Cdc), the public health control body, recommends the coronavirus tracking platform developed by Apple and Google and adopted by several countries that are developing a app, including Italy. The final version of the platform will be ready in mid-May. This can be seen from a document of the CDC reported by the AppleInsider website.

The document called 'Preliminary Criteria for the Evaluation of Digital Contact Tracing Tools for Covid-19' indicates the requirements to be implemented in apps and platforms for tracking contacts. In addition to the anonymity in reporting the infection and notifications, the CoCs also recommend real-time synchronization of data with public health authorities, an open source architecture and the possibility for the user to cancel or withdraw consent at any time. . The document is the result of research and discussions with computer scientists and contact tracing experts.

The tracking platform of Apple and Google was announced on April 10 and represents the basis for governments to write specific apps that exploit Bluetooth and prefer a decentralized system (i.e. data remains on users' devices). they allow you to check if and when you have been in the vicinity of a person affected by the coronavirus. Italy and Germany are following this path, the United Kingdom is not. In this country, app trials start this week on the Isle of Wight.

Last week Apple and Google distributed a trial version of their platform to the developers of the different countries of the world who are working on the tracking app, the final version will be ready in mid-May. Date on which in the various countries that have adopted it, including Italy, an app experimentation could perhaps be put in place.
