hello this is joshua parfitz the digital
0:03
bay radio and today we'll be looking at
0:05
the latest statistics from the spanish
0:07
as well as in the analysis section which
0:09
will walk you through the spanish
0:10
government's new coronavirus contact
0:14
which is called radar kovi controversy
0:16
over privacy has been at the heart of
0:18
and we shall walk you through the
0:20
anonymity aspects in just a moment
0:22
but for now today's statistics let's go
0:25
today's statistics show 1418 new
0:30
a 24-hour period between monday and
0:31
tuesday this figure is
0:33
68 infections fewer than yesterday
0:35
however the figures are far from
0:38
as mentioned in yesterday's video which
0:40
you can see popping up on your screens
0:42
we spoke about how spain's health
0:43
ministry update its older statistics on
0:47
this means that 3632 infections have
0:51
to previous statistics and as we can see
0:54
in the daily graphs that are
0:55
published by the spanish government
0:57
every day far from the figures hovering
0:59
at just about one thousand they're
1:00
actually up in the three thousands each
1:03
sometimes even reaching four thousand
1:05
and up to the five thousand mark
1:07
in retrospect the biggest problem spain
1:10
is asymptomatic patients and even
1:14
this is a new addition to the statistics
1:16
graphs that we can see here as of today
1:18
so the problem of tracing these
1:20
potential asymptomatic patients
1:22
helps us segue nicely into the launch of
1:24
the spanish government's new contact
1:26
tracing app radar or kovid radar
1:29
is now free to download for anyone
1:31
living in spain wherever you get your
1:34
now if we open it up we can see that it
1:35
has an english version which is designed
1:37
to help both tourists and locals use the
1:39
app to its maximum potential
1:40
which we will discuss at the end of the
1:43
an app to ascertain where you've been
1:45
exposed to the coronavirus at any time
1:48
to work correctly users need to have
1:50
their bluetooth constantly on
1:52
and whenever you spend more than 15
1:54
minutes within two meters of another app
1:56
the data will be mutually stored on each
2:00
for a period of 14 days and as bullet
2:03
explains should an app user test covered
2:06
they can input a code that will notify
2:08
all the recorded users in their device
2:10
over the last 14 days
2:11
that they've been exposed to coronavirus
2:13
and the crux of the app is that by using
2:16
short range bluetooth technology no geo
2:18
location can take place
2:20
user data is encrypted into code so no
2:23
one can work out who they've been close
2:25
nor who may have tested positive should
2:27
they receive a warning
2:29
so now we tentatively accept the privacy
2:31
settings and a brief explanation
2:33
of what i just explained is presented on
2:35
the screen and now we're in
2:37
but how effective is the app a trial
2:41
took place between the 29th of june and
2:44
on the island of la gomera population 22
2:47
000 in the canary islands
2:49
three thousand people were paid to use
2:52
fake waves of coronavirus exposure
2:54
warnings were sent out to the contacts
2:57
the results found the app trace 6.4
3:01
for any one positive patient compared
3:03
with the 3.5 contacts achieved by human
3:05
trackers in the canary islands to date
3:09
82 percent of participants in the trial
3:11
were happy enough with the app to keep
3:14
and it was rated 8.6 out of 10 for
3:17
which the spanish government has taken
3:21
spain secretary of state for digital and
3:23
artificial intelligence carme artegas
3:26
spearheading this project said in a
3:27
press brief yesterday that 20
3:29
of the population downloading the app
3:30
would help contain a new pandemic
3:32
by 30 percent so far statistics from
3:35
across europe show that just three
3:36
percent of french nationals have
3:38
downloaded their government's track and
3:40
10 in italy whereas germany has already
3:42
hit the golden number of 20
3:44
now the main disclaimer of the app is
3:46
that despite well over 10 000 downloads
3:49
across the nation already no autonomous
3:52
approved its use doctors in each region
3:56
anonymous codes out to new coronary's
3:58
patients after they test positive
4:00
by pcr but the protocols are not in
4:02
place and they're likely not to be in
4:04
place until at least mid-august
4:06
rollout across the entire country is
4:07
expected to be completed for september
4:10
so there's a brief look at the spanish
4:12
government's new contract tracing
4:14
app kovid in future episodes we will
4:17
analyze any future security issues with
