COVID-19: opinion on geolocation tracking app in France 2020

In the fight against COVID-19, various applications have been developed around the world to stop the spread of the virus in 2020. However, during the first lockdown, the application StopCovid did not meet the expected results that the government had hoped. The second time around, and with rising numbers of infections, the download rate of the new version of the app (called TousAntiCovid) had reached a higher share. But, when French people were asked about their readiness being tracked by a geolocation app in the fight against the crisis, about 41 percent were reluctant to do so. About 30 percent were ready to do so, if their privacy was guaranteed.

As part of the fight against COVID-19 and to support the end of the crisis, would you agree to be tracked by a geolocation app?
