The Spanish Radar Covid tracking app available to the CCAA

Pedro Sánchez today offered the Autonomous Communities the mobile tracking application covid radar, so that each Community can use it in their health system. The app based on the Google-Apple tracking API. Good news ... half.

Now we have to wait and see how each Spanish community uses this tracking tool, adapting it to their health system, and whether or not they are all going to use it.

This app, based on the famous Google-Apple API contagion tracking by Bluetooth, has been testing on the island of La Gomera for two weeks. The results have not transcended, but it seems that they are very good, since today the third vice president Nadia Calviño, has assured that Radar Covid has been tested "successfully" and is ready to be launched.

So far, perfect. The problem comes that instead of launching itself at the state level, each Autonomous Community you have the freedom to decide whether or not to use it in your territory. You must adapt it to your healthcare system, and implement it.

The first question that comes to mind is what happens to users who, for whatever reasons, are changing autonomous community. Will a user from Aragon who has been in contact with one from Catalonia receive the warning of possible contagion if the Catalan activates the warning? I would not bet a Euro ...
