Contact tracing is an important tool to control infectious diseases, and digital contact tracing, using mobile apps, could be an effective method in the fight against COVID-19 spreading. During and after the first COVID-19 wave, many governments and regional authorities are rolling out their contact tracing apps.
Ongoing discussion includes the uptake and adherence, accuracy, workability and privacy concerns of the COVID-19 contact tracing apps. How and by whom will these apps be used? How can regions ensure optimal prevention of COVID-19 spreading while safeguarding its citizens’ privacy?
To gain a better understanding of the different approaches of COVID-19 apps, SAPHIRe will host an online interactive workshop on Friday 9 October 2020 10h00-12h00 CET
The topics discussed will include:
· Regional examples
· Privacy and security of contact tracing apps
· Public perception on the use of contact tracing apps
