Follow RT on The Dutch health ministry has disabled its coronavirus warning app for two days after it was revealed that private data was collected by other programs Google installs by default on Android phones.
The CoronaMelder app will not send warnings about potential infections for two days starting from Wednesday evening, the health ministry said on April 28, after the data leak was discovered.
The app uses the Google Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) framework – just like many other similar apps used throughout the EU. It works using constantly changing randomly generated codes exchanged between phones close to each other – and sends warnings to those who were in contact with someone who later tested positive for Covid-19.
