In the coming weeks, it is also planned for several other European countries to join transnational cooperation in order to limit the spread of Covid-19 across Europe more effectively and more quickly. Here is the list of Stop Covid partner countries , which will be updated with the accession of new partner countries.
In order to make the cooperation of new transnational applications more visible, a six-step visual demonstration has been created on a possible scenario in which the cooperation would take place:
- Anna (Latvia) and Thomas (partner country B) each download their own national app;
- Anna travels to country B and the app records prolonged contact with Thomas;
- Anna returns to Latvia, Thomas remains in partner country B;
- Thomas does not feel well and performs a Covid-19 test, which shows a positive result. Thomas enters the confirmation code in his app;
- While in Latvia, Anna receives a message on the phone that she was near an infected person. Anna contacts her family doctor;
- The family doctor tells Anna how to proceed.
As previously reported by LSM, Latvia was the first country in the world to make available a nationally-backed coronavirus tracking and notification app widely available.
It has been downloaded nearly 200,000 times and has helped in more than 100 cases of possible infection.
