“What we want is to preserve the privacy of Quebecers, protect their personal information while deploying an application that could prove useful for the protection of our population and the fight against the pandemic,” Caire told reporters in Quebec City. He said in Germany, the population was receptive to a COVID-19 application. In France, however, the app was “useless,” Caire said, in part, because of “anemic” participation that hovered around 2 per cent.
Caire said the questionnaire will be online until Aug. 2, adding it would take between four and six weeks for the app to be deployed in the province.
