App for the detection of COVID-19 cases from the government of Portugal
The COVID-19 pandemic has turned the entire planet upside down, forcing many governments to take action while waiting for the long-awaited vaccine to help solve the serious health and economic problem it has produced.
The Portuguese government's app to stop COVID-19
As many state and regional governments have done, Portugal has also developed its own app to try to curb contagion by identifying those who may have been affected. StayAway Covid works like many others we have seen, in a completely anonymous way and with notifications that the user receives in the event of contact with an infected person.
In addition to this function, the application also offers a series of basic tips to stay safe from possible infection by taking extreme health precautions as well as the steps to follow if you have been positive.
Remember that this type of application is totally anonymous as it is not based on a user record with personal data but rather works by exchanging codes with other devices.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 6.0.
