The code for Ireland’s Covid Tracker app has been published as part of an open source programme to help global public health authorities tackle the pandemic.
Ireland’s Health Service Executive has provided the code to the newly established Linux Foundation public health initiative which aims to use open source software to help public health authorities around the world combat Covid-19 and future epidemics.
Fran Thompson, chief information officer of the HSE, said: “We are pleased to contribute Covid Green, the open source code behind Ireland’s Covid Tracker app, to Linux Foundation Public Health.”
