Spain will trial a new smartphone app aimed at helping to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus on one of the Canary Islands, AFP reported.
Europe's latest scheme using Bluetooth technology to log contacts between people and send a warning if any of them test positive for the virus will start in late June on La Gomera, near tourist hot spot Tenerife.
“The aim is to explore the potential of this mobile tracing application in a real-life scenario,” the archipelago's government said in a statement, adding the results will be used to decide whether to roll out the app nationwide.
