There is no way (at least no obvious one) to report my infection without leaving my home. #5092

I'm pretty sure I'm infected, I made a rapid test at home and I have strong symptoms. To break the infection chain it is important to be able to immediately warn the other CWA-users about the increased risk. Sure there could be false reports, but there is no question about that there is an increased risk. This risk should be used in the risk calculation.

I'm sorry to hear that you are sure that you are infected!

All the best to you for a speedy recovery!

The question is how should a feature to warn with positive rapid antigen self tests be implemented. As you can read in https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist/issues/374, there is always a valid concern that someone might easily fool the system. I suggest to continue the discussion in https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist/issues/374.

And same for me: A speedy recovery!
