In the case of the federal government's Corona app, which has been used millions of times, the function with mutual warnings will come to an end on Sunday. As of this Monday, it is no longer possible to warn others after a positive test and to receive a red warning after "risk encounters", as the Federal Ministry of Health had announced.
In view of the more relaxed Corona situation, the app will then go into a "sleep mode" on June 1 and will no longer be updated for the time being. However, you can keep them on your mobile phone in order to continue using electronic vaccination certificates.
According to the app creators, there were a total of nine million people who used the app to issue more than 270 million warnings after a positive test.
35 million users
Since its launch on June 16, 2020, the app has been downloaded more than 48 million times, with up to 35 million actively using the application. The distance and duration of encounter of smartphones with an installed app were determined.
According to the ministry, the app can be "woken up" from sleep mode in a timely manner should the pandemic situation become more critical again.
