Can we PLEASE STOP making COVID-related phone-apps geo-locked?

We should not make getting #COVID19 test results, showing certificates, or participating in contact tracing difficult.

ANYONE should be able to download these apps. #makeCOVIDAppsAvailable
IF for some reason you need particular information to use the app, by all means ask for it!
But PLEASE stop assuming that because I use the UK Google Play Store that I don't have a Swiss address, Swiss credit card, Swiss insurance number, Swiss permit number........
Small things like this stop people who are trying to do the right thing. They turn people off from using services & taking actions that benefit *all of us*.

This seems crazy to have to say it but: Don't assume someone's residency or nationality from their app store!!
