New Corona Contact Confirmation App Some problems stop again from 11th July 22nd 12th July

A problem was found in the "contact confirmation application" that allows you to be notified when you suspect that you have been in heavy contact with a person infected with the new coronavirus, and some functions will be stopped from the 11th. This is the second time that a defect has been found.

If you download the "contact confirmation application" to a smartphone, the data of the other party will be recorded when the smartphone that also contains the application approaches for more than 15 minutes and within 1 meter.

When a person who has been confirmed to be infected enters the processing number issued by the public health center into the app, the contact person is notified, but according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there is a bug that cannot be registered even if it is entered.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided not to issue the processing number after 11 days until the defect is fixed, during which contact notification regarding people with confirmed infection will not be given.

In helping the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare that fixes the problem, we want to resume the issue as soon as possible processing number to prospect the next week.

The "contact confirmation application" started operation on the 19th of last month, but this is the second time that a defect has been found.
