Application Description
Introducing SwissCovid, Switzerland's official contact tracing app, developed by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). SwissCovid is a free, voluntary app supplementing cantonal contact tracing efforts. Its use is crucial in effectively controlling the spread of the coronavirus. Combined with traditional contact tracing, hygiene practices, and social distancing, SwissCovid helps keep the virus at bay. The app utilizes encrypted IDs to anonymously record close encounters with other SwissCovid users and allows for location check-ins, alerting users to potential infection risks. Data remains securely stored locally on your device, adhering to Swiss law. Download SwissCovid today to help curb the spread of coronavirus.
App Features:
- Contact Tracing: The app anonymously logs proximity encounters with other SwissCovid users, identifying high-risk interactions. This complements existing cantonal contact tracing initiatives.
- Minimum System Requirements: Requires Android 6.0 or later.
- Encounter Tracking: Employs Bluetooth to transmit encrypted IDs (checksums), recording encounter duration and proximity. Checksums are automatically deleted after two weeks.
- Check-in Functionality: Allows users to check into locations or meetings, receiving alerts if a potential infection risk arises. Only user presence is recorded, safeguarding privacy.
- Notifications: Users testing positive receive a COVID code activating in-app notifications, alerting close contacts or those at shared locations during the infectious period. Privacy is maintained throughout.
- Privacy Protection: All data remains securely stored locally on the user's device. No personal or location data is transmitted to central servers, ensuring compliance with Swiss law and data privacy regulations.
Conclusion:
SwissCovid is Switzerland's official contact tracing app, designed to help control the spread of the coronavirus. It enhances existing contact tracing methods and relies on voluntary public participation. Its features—encounter tracking, check-ins, exposure notifications, and robust privacy protections—combine to effectively mitigate the virus's transmission. Using SwissCovid alongside hygiene practices and social distancing significantly reduces the spread of the coronavirus.
