德國推出病毒預警應用大綱
Virus warning app launched
德國推出病毒預警應用Germany launched its official COVID-19 warning app which was now available for download to smartphones, the government announced on Tuesday.
德國政府6月16日宣佈，推出官方版新冠肺炎預警應用，目前該應用已可以在智能手機上下載。Released by Germany's disease control agency Robert Koch Institute, the app informs citizens who had been in contact with an infected person in order to detect and break the chains of infection.
這款由德國疾控機構羅伯特·科赫研究所發佈的應用會對接觸過新冠感染者的市民發出警示，以便發現並打破感染鏈。
German Health Minister Jens Spahn stressed that the app was "not a panacea, not a free ride ticket, but it is an important additional tool in containing the pandemic."
德國衛生部長延斯·施潘強調，該應用並非靈丹妙藥，也不是免費車票，而是遏制疫情的重要附加工具。
Downloading and using the app was "a small step for each of us, but a big step in the fight against the pandemic," said head of the Chancellery Helge Braun, adding that citizens could rely on high standards of data protection.
總理府部長黑爾格·布勞恩表示，下載並使用該應用對我們每個人來說只是一小步，但對抗擊疫情來說卻是一大步。布勞恩還說，該應用在數據保護方面採用高標準，值得信賴。The app was based on a "decentralized software architecture" which stored data on the mobile phones of users instead of a central server.
這是一款“分散管理軟件架構”型應用，數據是被儲存在用戶手機上而不是中央服務器上。
