As COVID-19 cases hit 100,000 in Canada, Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) and BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) announced a coronavirus contact tracing app – developed with provincial and federal governments – expected to launch in July.
The app, called COVID Alert, will use Bluetooth
connections to swap randomly generated codes with users in a geographic
vicinity.
It may pay off for Canada. The U.K. yesterday
switched to the Apple and Google model for its COVID-19 test-and-trace
app after a locally developed system did not work well on the iPhone.
