PARIS: France's state-supported"StopCovid" contact-tracing app project is creating friction between government and parliament amid preparations to debate the issue before the app is ready.
The proposed French solution, however, will not be ready before parliament debates the subject on April 28-29, digital affairs minister Cedric O said. The French government has provided little technical detail on its project, which will be based on a proximity-tracking Bluetooth app that users would install on their mobile phones voluntarily.A debate is scheduled in France's National Assembly over April 28-29, but no formal vote is planned.
He added that the app may not even be ready by May 11, when President Emmanuel Macron plans to begin lifting the country's lockdown. Macron said lawmakers would have to hold a debate before May 11, the lockdown's tentative end-date.
