My country (Iceland) has an official contact tracing app listed there. It was developed by volunteers and contributed to the government and the source is open on github. Nothing you said applies to it.
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoGood to know, Good for Iceland residents. Note that I didn't say 'all democratic countries'.
- hugi 5y agoThanks. It's worked very well for us and really helped with contact tracing. But what democratic countries are mandating the use of covid apps?
- bhelkey 5y agoSearching for mandatory and required turned up Hong Kong (required the app for entering restaurants) and Qatar (mandated when leaving the house). I don't think this is what OP was refering to.
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoPlease search instead by 'COVID app mandatory for'; depending upon your location the results might vary i.e. if you are from one of those countries then all the search results in the front page would be about just your country and where as if you are not then you will get different countries/states which has mandated COVID app for some service. If the former is true for you, it didn't mean I meant your country alone in my original comment.
- bhelkey 5y ago> Please search instead by 'COVID app mandatory for'; In case I can save anyone else the time I spent, I initially read this as op saying that I should search for the phrase 'COVID app mandatory for' in one of the two articles op previously linked [1][2]. This phrase does not show up in either link. I believe op is suggesting that I google this phrase but I think I already have spent too much time on this.

- ddingus 5y agoNice to see. There are days here... (USA) where I browse about and wonder about immigration. In my view, you guys have something good. Stay vigilant!
