Dozens of countries have launched or plan contact tracing apps using either Bluetooth or location-tracking technology to notify people quickly of possible coronavirus exposure. But the first generation of contact tracing apps rushed out in March and April raised privacy alarms.
Poland's latest app comes after the country lifted some restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the virus and after a few days of record high new coronavirus cases mainly due to the spread among miners.
The initial version of Poland's ProteGO Safe app used Bluetooth technology to log connections between smartphones on a device. A user who got sick would change his status in the application anonymously and it would send data about his contacts within the previous two weeks to an external server to inform other users about possible risk.
But doubts over privacy security convinced Poland to join Switzerland, Latvia and Italy that opted for Bluetooth short-range radio for their apps, based on technology from Apple and Google that securely logs exchanges on the smartphones of people who have been near each other.
\"We paid a lot of attention to ... secure privacy issues,\" Poland's digital minister Marek Zagorski told a videoconference.
\"The application does not collect, process or transfer any data outside, except for the anonymous keys that are used to activate the notification module. It is completely anonymous.\"
Zagorski said the aim was to make the application interoperable with other ones in Europe and that at least 30-40% of smartphone users needed to use the app to make it work effectively.
\"So we are talking here not about thousands but about millions of users in Poland and this is our goal,\" the minister said. \"We hope that we will be able to persuade Poles to install this application in ... a dozen or so weeks so that ... we are better prepared for the second wave (of coronavirus).\"
Poland has so far confirmed 27,365 coronavirus infections, while 1,172 people have died.

波兰已经发布了最新版本的智能手机应用程序来帮助跟踪冠状病毒疫情,已适应解决的担忧隐私,这个国家的数字部长周二表示。
几十个国家已经发起或者计划联系跟踪应用程序使用蓝牙或定位跟踪技术可能的冠状病毒接触迅速通知人。但是第一代接触者追踪应用在3月和4月冲出来了隐私警报。
波兰全国最新的应用程序之前,取消一些限制旨在遏制病毒的传播和几天后新高新冠状病毒病例主要是由于矿工之间的传播。
波兰的盔甲护身的初始版本安全应用蓝牙技术用于日志之间的连接智能手机设备上。用户匿名生病了在应用程序中会改变他的地位,对他的联系人发送数据前两周内到外部服务器通知其他用户可能的风险。
但质疑隐私安全相信波兰加入瑞士,拉脱维亚和意大利选择蓝牙短程无线电的应用,基于来自苹果和谷歌的技术,安全日志交流的智能手机的人彼此靠近。
“我们很多的关注……安全隐私问题,“波兰的数字部长Marek Zagorski告诉一个视频会议。
”应用程序不收集、处理或传输任何数据外,除了匿名键用于激活通知模块。它是完全匿名的。”
Zagorski说,目的是使应用程序与其他的欧洲和可互操作的,至少有30 - 40%的智能手机用户需要使用应用程序使其有效工作。
“我们这里说的不是数千而是数百万用户在波兰和这是我们的目标,”部长说。“我们希望,我们将能够说服波兰人安装这个应用程序…十几周,这样……我们更好的准备第二波(冠状病毒)。”
波兰27365年迄今已证实冠状病毒感染,1172人死亡。
