PARIS (Reuters) – The French government’s contact-tracing app project was approved by the lower house of parliament on Wednesday, paving the way for a launch over the weekend.
The plan for the so-called “StopCovid” app, which had caused frictions even within President Emmanuel Macron’s parliament majority because of privacy concerns, was approved by 338 MPs versus 215.
