Russian app for COVID-19 risk management. Apple and Google technologies
You may have recently been very close to a person with COVID-19, but do not know about it yet. Install the app and check. Tell other users if you get sick yourself. Everything is anonymous! Nobody will know who got sick and where they are.
How does the app find contacts?
Your device searches for and remembers data from other devices nearby using Exposure Notification technology, jointly developed by Apple and Google. This technology allows your smartphone to remember other devices nearby via Bluetooth, exchanging random keys with them. The list of transferred keys is stored on the smartphone for two weeks and then deleted. If one of the users gets sick and tests positive for COVID-19, he reports it anonymously through the application. Notifications are sent to devices whose keys have been stored on the smartphone over the past two weeks. Their owners will receive a push notification with the date of the contact. Nobody will see any data on the sick person.
If you test positive for COVID-19, let other users know that you are sick. They won't know who the message came from or where he is. The application does not transmit data about the phone, its owner and location. Only information about exposure to COVID-19 on a specific date in the last 14 days is available.
The more users, the more accurately you can assess the risk of virus infection, make a test on time and start treatment.
Let's help each other stay healthy!
