The “Immuni” tracking app, which is currently being tested in Italy in the fight against the corona epidemic, is able to make past contacts of a person not only in Italy, but also in other European countries, including Austria, Switzerland, France , Spain and Denmark. This was reported by the Milan daily newspaper Corriere della Sera on Saturday.
The app is to be downloaded on a voluntary basis and will initially be tested in several Italian regions. The users should keep control over their data. Only when they find out that they have been infected with the new type of corona virus do they send their data to a server. All persons with whom the user has previously had contact are then identified and warned via Bluetooth. “Immuni” is debating the security of data protection in Italy.
