Inria, which manages the project, explains that "final adjustments" were needed to cope with a "massive influx of potential applications".

It is finally around 16 hours Stopcovid has made its appearance in the app store Google Play. The holders of iPhone have had to wait 19 hours.

An application Spanish top downloads
