Apple and Google , a joint effort of these two tech giants of the world has created a covid tracing technology. By which many covid infected have recovered. With the help of this sophisticated technology, if any Covid positive person comes in contact with you, it will be informed in advance. This API was developed by Apple and Google in June 2020. This wonderful technology has already received a great response in Britain. According to a new report, the use of this technology has saved at least 4,200 to 8,700 people. However, this technology has not yet been introduced in India.
A recent survey found that 4,200 to 8,700 Covid infected people in the UK have recovered from the technology linked to the NHS app. If a person is positive for COVID-19, a notification will be sent to all people he or she meets.
Google writes in a blogpost about the new technology, 'The rigid rules of contact tracing are not very effective in breaking the chain of transmission. The only way to solve this problem is to use technology. As a result, if any person who comes in contact with the customer is infected, notifications are immediately sent to the phone of all the people whom he has known, who have met very recently. Even if the person does not know directly, he can be alerted by knowing through notification. Using this technology, the health department can warn you before you become infected.
