Belgium launches Coronalert App to slow down spread of COVID-19 - Response Center

Brusseles, Sep 30 (Sputnik) - The Belgian authorities launched on Wednesday a Coronalert smartphone app to combat the spread of the coronavirus disease, which will alert users of potentially dangerous contacts, the crisis center said in a statement.
"The application works with green and red screens. A green screen means that the user is at low risk and that he/she had no high-risk contact. In case of a high-risk contact, the application will display a red screen. Two scenarios are possible. If you have symptoms of coronavirus, the application will advise you to contact your doctor. If you don’t have any symptoms, the application will suggest you to contact the contact centre which will provide more information about being tested," the statement read.
The app is said to be safe in terms of users' personal data, according to the Belgian authorities.
