Offer app officially to other countries? #79

Open flaphoschi opened 4 years ago

flaphoschi commented 4 years ago

Hello! Naive question. Are there any talks with foreign health authorities about offering the app as their official solution? Like RKI does in Germany.

The big task would be likely uploading results of positives tests that will need additional work from local developers and authorities as well. That could help countries will less population like Luxembourg or Namibia. Others like the US seem to have several apps but not an official from the CDC. Maybe France also decides to merge with ours?

Benefits

Drawbacks

I don't claim that the RKI app is better or should replace others. I just think we can unite efforts.
Thanks for your work

Hi @flaphoschi ,

Thank you for your proposal. All issues in the cwa-wishlist repository will be discussed with our contracting entities. They will decide whether they will be implemented or pursued further. As soon as we have any updates, we will let you know about the details.

Best regards,

SD

On a related topic, the EU is coordinating efforts to join country apps together as detailed here.

Here is a List of Mobile contact tracing apps in EU Member States.

The CWA FAQ entry lists the countries which are already connected or planned to be connected to Germany starting with the release of CWA version 1.5 on October 19, 2020.
