German Federal Minister of Health Spence said on the same day that the German government's new crown warning app launched on June 16 has been downloaded more than 14.6 million times, and about 300 confirmed cases have been reported.

　　Although the German government emphasized its importance in tracking close contacts and cutting off the chain of infection when promoting the above-mentioned APP, Shi Pan still reminded the public that APP is not a panacea. We must continue to be vigilant, maintain interpersonal distance, and wear it daily. Masks, abide by health and epidemic prevention rules.
