Contact Tracing App For COVID-19 Now Free To Developers Globally – The Quint
Trace Together is a contact tracing app that uses Bluetooth to track if one has been close to a COVID-19 patient.
Trace Together is an app by the Singapore government that has already been installed by 620,000 people. This contact tracing app can identify people who have come within 2 metres of COVID-19 positive patient for at least half an hour using wireless Bluetooth technology.
In a bid to fight the global coronavirus pandemic, the Singapore government is now making the code for this app open-source, which means it can be modified and used by developers globally to trace people. It will help infected people track and identify who they have been in close contact with an essential step in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Trace Together app is available on the Google Play Store and IOS app store in Singapore, but now that the code is available, expect new apps to come up in other markets.
