As of today, it is official. The contact tracing interface announced by Apple and Google will be released next week.
Apple wants to work with Google to interface which only health authorities can access in order to be able to provide applications for contact tracing via Bluetooth. The new API is to be made available to the relevant developers next week. To be precise, the release will take place on Tuesday, April 28th.
