Ireland releases COVID-19 Tracker app using Apple/Google Exposure Notification API - 9to5Mac
Jul 06, 2020 56 secs

The app is built using the Exposure Notification API developed by Apple and Google, and users in Ireland can download it from the App Store now as well as Google Play.

The COVID-19 Tracker Ireland application was released to the App Store today by the Health Service Executive, which is the agency responsible for the provision of health and personal social services for everyone living in Ireland.

If you have been closer than 2 meters for more than 15 minutes with any of these phones you will receive a notification that you are a close contact

Privacy is a tentpole of the Exposure Notification API and perhaps the biggest privacy protection in Apple and Google’s technology is that location data plays no part in how it works

The COVID-19 Tracker Ireland application is available on the App Store for free to iPhone users in Ireland

Android users can also find it in the Play Store in Ireland

You can keep up with the adoption of the Apple and Google Exposure Notification API in the United States here

The UK announced last month that it will use the Apple and Google Exposure Notification API after all
