As we have already mentioned, the launch of the Portuguese “tracing COVID-19” app should be imminent. The decree-law has already been published and, according to what Pplware knows, everything will be ready including Apple’s validation.
Discover the Portuguese app that will help make a quick survey of contagion chains. Let’s get to know the STAYAWAY COVID app.
The test version for Android has been available for some time, but today the test version for Apple devices has arrived. This version is only available to those who are enrolled in the testing program and in that sense Pplware reveals how the app is installed and how its interface is.
Note that to run this app you must have the app Apple Test Flight and also an activation code.
How is the Portuguese app for COVID-19?
After obtaining the app and after running it, you will receive screens with the main information about how it works. On the final screen, you must indicate that you have read the information and that you consent to the processing of data, and then activate the notifications and registration of exposure to COVID-19.
After installing basically the user does not have to do anything else. The app will be doing “its job”. If the status was green, it means that no proximity contacts were registered with a high risk of contagion.

In the case of going to a health service, carrying out a test to COVID-19 and testing positive, the user will have the possibility, ANONYMOUSLY, to alert others who have had a contact who has tested positive. In the whole process, there is no information whatsoever about who tested positive or what contact they were in. The entire platform relies only on random numbers and that is the one that is compared.
When someone tests positive, the doctor will give a key that the user may enter in your app. Who decides whether to insert the code or not will be the end user, that is, the person who is infected. The code is valid for 24 hours.
The app also provides various types of information on how users can protect themselves and the operation of the app.

For now the app is only available to users who are part of the testing program. From what Pplware tested, the app is quite simple, which is what you want. In practice, the user only has to activate the notifications and registration of exposure to COVID-19, but this is done by pressing only the button.
