Canada is partnering with Shopify Inc. volunteers and BlackBerry Ltd. on a contact tracing application for Covid-19 as cases in the country breached 100,000.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said users will be able to upload their test results voluntarily onto the app. All data will be kept anonymous, with no no location or personal information collected.
"It is an extra tool that helps people move forward with confidence that we're going to be able to track and trace more of the exposure, or the potential sharing of Covid-19 virus, around the country," said Trudeau who announced the partnership with the Canadian technology firms at a briefing outside his Ottawa residence on Thursday.
