The new version of the contact tracing application is officially available. Find out how to configure and use TousAntiCovid on your iPhone or Android smartphone.
It is now official. StopCovid is no longer. The first version of the application of contact tracing of the Government, which did not meet the expected success, was replaced by TousAntiCovid, a new application quite similar, but which is more complete than StopCovid.
The main novelty of this application is the arrival of a Key figures section. This allows, at a glance, to know the number of new daily cases, the effective R (the average number of people that a patient can contaminate), the incidence rate (number of positive people for a test, on 100,000 inhabitants), the positivity rate, as well as the occupancy rate of intensive care beds.
TousAntiCovid also offers application specific data. You will be able to know the number of people who have downloaded and activated the app, the number of people notified after being exposed to the virus, as well as the number of cases declared in the application. Find out how to download, configure and use TousAntiCovid on your smartphone.
