Official repository for the STAYAWAY COVID mobile application
STAYAWAY COVID
Covid-19 Exposure Notification App for Portugal
??
# Introduction [STAYAWAY
COVID](https://stayaway.inesctec.pt/en/) is a voluntary system
aiming at supporting the country in the screening of COVID-19. This
repository contains the STAYAWAY COVID source code for both Android
and iOS. STAYAWAY COVID is a [React
Native](https://reactnative.dev) project built on top of the
Decentralised Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (DP^3T) project.
DP^3T is an open protocol for COVID-19 proximity tracing using
Bluetooth Low Energy functionality on mobile devices that ensures
personal data and computation stays entirely on an individual's
phone. STAYAWAY COVID relies on the open source DP^3T SDKs, which
are the implementation of the DP^3T protocol using the [Exposure
Notification
Framework](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/exposurenotification)
of Google and Apple. The SDK source code can be found
[here](https://github.com/DP-3T). In the course of a pandemic,
timely diagnosis of the population and informed reporting are
crucial to break and control the chains of transmission. In the
case of COVID-19, this does not come easy given the extended
incubation period of the disease and the fact that, in many cases,
infected patients are asymptomatic. Thanks to STAYAWAY COVID, we
are able to find out if we are at risk of being infected, based on
the contacts we have been close to in the previous couple of weeks.
A community-wide uptake of this app will turn it into a valuable
and decisive ally in the fight against COVID-19. The project was
led by [INESC TEC](https://www.inesctec.pt) with the collaboration
of [Keyruptive](https://www.keyruptive.com) and
[Ubirider](https://www.ubirider.com).
