Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) has confirmed that the Corona warning app will be presented next week. There are high technical requirements for the software application, with which contacts of people, who have been infected with the Coronavirus, are to be traced. The app must be usable on all mobile devices and meet data protection requirements. In addition, it should not be an energy eater.

The federal government had previously emphasized that there would be no special law on the use of the app. The use is voluntary and has no immediate consequences for the users, a government speaker pointed out.
