COVID Tracker - Testing & Contact Tracing: How Ireland is Battling COVID-19
summary
Ireland builds a Bluetooth-based contact tracing app that ships to app stores in about 100 days and goes live 7 July, using Google Apple Exposure Notification instead of the initial GPS/QR/beacon experiments. It runs on Kubernetes-backed infrastructure, is open sourced to the Linux Foundation Public Health, and achieves 1.3 million users, 15,000 positive key uploads, 30,000 notifications delivered and 60 million symptom check-ins while interoperating with Northern Ireland and EU systems.
