Clubs like Bayer 04 are using their popularity to draw attention to the app and the associated range of information. On the last matchday, all 36 professional clubs wore the tracing app logo on their shirtsleeves in place of the Bundesliga logo. The same applied to the breast pockets of the match officials kit plus the substitute board and corner flags. On matchday 34 too, when the Werkself entertain Mainz 05 at the BayArena, the Bundesliga clubs will again be supporting the app and events are also planned for the DFB Cup final between Bayer 04 and FC Bayern on 4 July.
DFL CEO Christian Seifert explained: "Our society continues to face huge challenges in relation to the coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus tracing app is a significant measure by the federal government on the long way back to normality. It's therefore down to us to make use of the popularity of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs to draw attention to this action across the country."
The coronavirus tracing app makes it possible to track chains of infection and interrupt them. The app automatically sends out encrypted random codes every time users meet each other. The codes provide information of when people met each other and how far apart they are. It is not possible to identify the individual person or the place of their meeting. The codes are automatically deleted from the smartphones after 14 days. If a user is shown to have coronavirus then he or she can make his code available to other users. People who have had contact with the infected person are thereby informed and will receive recommendations for treatment. Use of the app is voluntary and by the start of the week it had already been downloaded twelve million times.
