Start of the field test for the Corona-Warn-Buzzer in Augustusburg
Thursday, 10th Dezember 2020
The starting signal will be given on December, 12th - a smart alternative to the existing Corona-Warn-App will be tested in the field. Up to 2,500 test persons have agreed to take part in the trial in Augustusburg, Saxony. Particular attention will be paid to places where people without smartphones meet in confined spaces. The newly developed Corona-Warn-Buzzer is intended to help make contact tracing possible even for those who do not own or do not want to use a smartphone. To this end, the Free State of Saxony is funding the project with 2 million euros.
