With only 2.3 million downloads and 72 notifications sent in 3 months, StopCovid is a real wet firework. In an interview with France Inter, Jean Castex stated that the tracking application “Maybe we didn’t get the results we hoped because of the lack of communication.” . The manager points to the communication campaign around StopCovid. To rectify the situation, the General Directorate of Health (DGS) recently announced that it came to Turkey.A new com’ campaign to kick off the school year in September.
“However, we knew that full-scale testing of such a vehicle would be particularly difficult in times of pandemic. We are not the only country making the same observation.” Emphasizes Jean Castex. For example, Quebec has stopped developing a monitoring application for the time being. “StopCovid is a tool in all of the fight against the epidemic (…) But it is not the main tool in the fight against the pandemic” terminates the manager. As a reminder, Hosting StopCovid costs the Government €200,000 and €300,000 per month.
No linked objects to support StopCovid
The General Directorate of Health (DGS), which cooled down with the disastrous results of StopCovid, put it on hold project of connected objects dedicated to completing the application. “We will say it is no longer a priority” provides a source close to the file BFM-TV. “No decision has been taken regarding the adoption of such technical solutions” officially confirms DGS.
A few months ago, the French government brought up the idea of developing linked badges or bracelets for individuals without a smartphone, such as the elderly or children. For now, the project has stopped. Is it really a surprise? We look forward to your feedback in the comments.
