According to CNBC, Apple is doing its part in it prevent coronavirus-related disinformation, a policy that Google makes and appears in the Play Store. This approach spoke to four independent developers who have created coronavirus-related programs and which have been rejected by the App Store.
These are apps, allowed users, track in real time the number of countries where coronavius cases have been confirmed, using the World Health Organization as a source of information, therefore, the information they provide was real and not removed from rumors, speculation or false information.
Apple told one of the developers over the phone, that it was all coronavirus related must be published by a recognized health organization or the government of the world. Another developer received an email due to a refusal to publish his application, where it could be read that requests for current medical information should be submitted by reputable agencies.
An Apple-related source is mentioned, since Carlertino are analyzing cases on a case-by-case basis to prevent inaccuracies and analyze where the health information they provide comes from and when developers represent an organization so users of the app can get real information.
When we do a search for the term coronavirus in the App Store, we find the use of the Brazilian government and other games about viruses that exploit the situation. If the information displayed by the app is based on information provided by the WHO, many would criticize Apple's decision, since It does not allow people to be aware of the current state of the coronavirus.
Accordingly, WHO will publish the app which has provided real-time information about the coronavirus, which is not interesting when we consider that it doesn't have a mobile app.
