For the management and further development of the CoronaCheckapp, according to the minister, an additional budget of 5.1 million euros is needed this year and another 15.3 million euros next year. That money is for the most part intended for ‘external hiring’, writes the minister in a proposal for an adjustment of the current budget.
According to Kuipers, 7.2 million euros is needed in 2022 and 30.8 million euros in 2023 for other digital support tools, such as the apps CoronaMelder and GGDContact. CoronaMelder is the app that could warn people that they had been near someone who had tested positive for the coronavirus. GGDContact is an app that helps you during the contact investigation of the GGD to find out who you may have infected with corona.
CoronaMelder app stopped for the time being
Last Friday, the government pulled the unplug the CoronaMelder app† As a result, people will no longer receive warnings from the app for the time being.
Many corona measures have now been abolished, which means that the Corona Reporter is of little use anymore, according to the Ministry of Health. “So you no longer have to stay at home when you have been near someone with corona. And most people no longer have to go to the GGD for a confirmation test after a positive self-test. As a result, the usefulness of the CoronaMelder app is greatly reduced. .”
