Corona Melder app now lets you immediately report contamination yourself

As of today, it is possible to add a contamination of the Coronavirus directly to the CoronaMelder app and thus warn others even faster. This works together with the Coronatest website.

Add a positive test to the Corona detector app

The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport has announced a new feature for the CoronaMelder app. From now on, the application makes it possible to immediately warn others via the application, after a positive result. You will receive this result via the Coronatest.nl website, after which you can enter the GGD key from the app on the website via a button. This button can be found in the app, the Ministry reports.

In this way, people who have been around an infected person for a longer period of time can be warned earlier. They will then receive a notification that they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for the Coronavirus. In this way it should be possible to find more infections. According to the Ministry, this is important now that society is opening up further. 74 percent of those who scheduled a corona test, after a report from the CoronaMelder app, were not yet in the picture during the source and contact investigation.
