Abstract

In recent months, humanity is faced with an enormous challenge, the spread of the new coronavirus. The outbreak was classified as a pandemic and measures to contain it has a high priority. In the presence of local or community circulation of the virus, it is important for control strategies to reconstitute the chain of contacts established during a period determined by the infected individuals, their contacts and, sometimes, those suspected of contamination or risk cases. This procedure is complex and is supported by the use of the investigated people's memory, requiring considerable effort. Technology can be an important aid in this domain, opening up the question of how current technological devices can help in the desired contact tracing. The aim of this work is to develop an application that performs digital contact tracing of individuals infected with coronavirus in the Angolan context, issuing alerts to people at risk due to proximity exposure to other infected individuals. The application will run on the Android platform, based on modern programming resources and will implement the strictest privacy and individual rights protection standards, adopting a decentralized model, based on the DP3T protocol. As a result, a prototype of a system integrated by two components, a mobile application and a support server, was implemented. In the tests carried out, it was verified that it allows the execution of the desired basic functionalities.
