Apple and Google are doing something which they never did, working together
On April 10th they announced that they are making a tracking system which will help in tracking coronavirus. So do you wanna know how it works, obviously, yes.
Every phone has Bluetooth so they will make an app which will help in tracking how many phone’s Bluetooth ranges comes around you and will collect a code from others phone Bluetooth and vice versa. The code collected will stay in the phone only and you cannot get any details from that code of anyone until Government or medical authorities want to know. Your location will not be tracked and you will always be an unknown person.
They will create an API (Application Program Interface) for public health agencies by mid-May.
With that, every state Governments can launch an app of their own on this technology.
Also, Don’t worry your phone battery will not get weak as Bluetooth is going to work on low energy mode.
After May, Apple and Google will push this in their software updates in IOS and Android devices but you will be asked if you want to join the tracking system or not to save yourself, I mean who would want to say no to save their life.
Whoever gets this virus, we cannot see or notice any symptoms until 5 days. So whats happening till now, how we are tracking Coronavirus, Its called Contact Tracing
So if we found any coronavirus positive patient then we will ask him/her that where were you in the last 7 days and with how many people you met and which places have you visited and what you did there.
In this case, India has already made an app, “Aarogya Setu” which works on the same tracking system and we don’t need contact tracing now.
So as India, Singapore, South Korea and China has already made apps like this but to help other countries to make an app like this and make it on one platform. Google and Apple have come together with this technology to spread in the whole world.
So Google and Apple are making a uniform technology to track and alert but now its the duty of public health agencies, medical authorities to look into this and quarantine all who came in contact to the infected people. Watch the video to know more.
