WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.120 The contact-tracing app is 00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:09.600 mainly useful from one point of view. 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.880 It reduces the burden of the relatively small number of epidemiologists in the country. 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.560 In fact, in normal circumstances we wouldn’t even need this app. 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.760 But we will need it when the situation becomes the most crucial. 00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:32.000 So, why did the government introduce it when it wasn’t as yet needed? 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:42.800 Well, to prepare for a time when it will be needed. When such a time comes, this app will prove to be most useful. 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:52.240 There is no need to fear that individuals’ private lives could be traced and 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.800 revealed through the app. 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.860 All the app does is locally exchange codes known as keys. It does not reveal any location information 00:01:02.360 --> 00:01:05.920 So, there is no need to fear. 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:18.320 But the possible benefits in very difficult moments when a large outbreak occurs are considerable. 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.240 In such times, an app like this could save lives.
