Germany is among a number of EU countries that are trialling an app to track and limit spread of #coronavirus BUT also respect strict EU privacy laws /1 neweurope.eu/article/german…
The idea behind the app is also to be able to loosen #coronavirus lockdown legislation ASAP to get economies up and running again. How would this work? Personal data would be encrypted in order to respect privacy /2
The app analyses Bluetooth signals between phones to detect users near enough to infect one another. If individuals then test positive for #coronavirus then the app alerts people who have recently been around them /3

The lifting of Europe’s lockdown measures is not at all co-ordinated. EU member states have 27 different healthcare systems, 27 different infection rates and 27 different priorities as regards kickstarting their #coronavirus-battered economies AND /1
Measures even differ within countries. The Italian region of Lombardy resisted re-opening small, non-essential shops last week, while neighbouring Veneto welcomed the opportunity. There are noticeable differences of opinion within governments too... /2

Merkel hammering home today that although smaller shops open again as of today - this is not a "getting back to normal" #coronavirus /1
Merkel warned Germans that it was better to be cautious than overconfident as regards lifting #coronavirus restrictions. Otherwise Germany risked a second wave of infections -she said -leading to hospitals being overwhelmed. Something Germany has so far managed to avoid. /2
Merkel underlined that being cautious was better for the economy in the long run too. Said each time they lifted some restrictions, the impact as regards the number of new #coronavirus infections, would only become clear 2 weeks later. /3
