INTERVIEW:
FRENCH MINISTER
CONFIDENT IN
VIRUS TRACING APP
As France is easing most virus-related
restrictions this week, the French government
is confident its contact-tracing app will be
effective in the process to contain the spread of
the pandemic, despite skepticism and worries
about privacy.
The man at the forefront of the French app,
junior minister for digital economy Cedric O
told, “it is not a miracle solution, but it is useful
and necessary.”
The StopCovid app is set to be available to
the public on June 2, when the country starts
reopening its restaurants and cafes together
with monuments and museums, theaters, gyms
and public swimming pools. It will make France
the first major world democracy to roll out such
a tracing app.
