03 June 2020The watchword, the experts warn, remains "prudence" ", as the virus has not been defeated. In this context, the words of the Minister for Innovation, Paola Pisano, who said that in the first 24 hours from availability, half a million users have downloaded the Immuni app to track coronavirus exposure :: "Italians have understood, we are among the first countries in the world to use this technology," said the

The app is also positively evaluated by regional administrators. For example in Puglia, where from today all people who move, relocate or enter from other regions or from abroad, with public or private means of transport must report the move, transfer or entry by filling in the form self-reporting available on the institutional website of the Puglia Region, which advises, in the spirit of collaboration, to download Immuni.

Even the president of the Marche Region, Luca Ceriscioli, underlines: "We have come forward and we are very convinced of the value of this app, which protects people's privacy but informs them of the contacts they have had with potentially positive people". The Marches are downloading it, adds the president in an interview on Radio 1: "The only data we have are the contacts on the page of the Region, 15,000, with many who wrote 'done'". 

The stereotyped graphics
"How is it possible that the image of women in 2020 is still linked, even within institutions, to the most worn and abused stereotypes? The story of the app should not be minimized because it is a symptom of something serious and deep ", writes on twitter Andrea Orlando, deputy secretary of the Democratic Party. "The woman devoted to children and plants. The man struggling with smart working. If it is not clear what is wrong with this image, you are part of the problem. Immuni App is simple and functional. Make it respectful of times and gender equality due ", stresses, again on Twitter, Erasmo Palazzotto (LeU).

These are some of the rumors that have been added to the controversy about the graphic design of the app, raised by Anna Paola Concia. Minister of Equal Opportunities Elena Bonetti replied on Twitter: "I wrote to Minister Paola Pisano yesterday and she immediately reassured me that a change is being worked on, which will be released shortly".
