Koronavilkku, the official coronavirus application of Finland, has been developed to curb the spread of COVID-19 while ensuring strong protection of user privacy. Spearheaded by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Koronavilkku works by locating phones in close proximity that have the app installed. In the event that someone you have interacted with in the past reports having COVID-19 via Koronavilkku, an exposure notification will be sent to you. The app also allows for anonymous reporting of a COVID-19 diagnosis. Koronavilkku is suitable for people of all ages, but minors are advised to seek parental consent before downloading. The voluntary use of the app enables users to remove it from their devices at their convenience. Koronavilkku ensures user privacy by storing any encounter data locally on the device, which will be deleted after 21 days or upon uninstallation. User identity is protected by encryption using random identification codes, and no location data is collected. For more information or assistance, visit koronavilkku.fi/en.
