Immuni

History and Context of Immuni

Immuni was one of the first European pandemic apps that did not rely on a centralized database. It started strong with 2.2 million downloads in its first 10 days and has recently seen another download spike in time for the second wave. There were early debates pushing for Italy to adopt legislation making the app mandatory, but these urges were resisted. Italy’s Immuni App is now interoperable with Ireland’s Covid Tracker App and Germany’s Corona-Warn-App

App-Specific Legislation
