Responsável pelo tratamento dos dados e intervenção do médico no STAYAWAY COVID

Estabelece o responsável pelo tratamento dos dados e regula a intervenção do médico no sistema STAYAWAY COVID: À semelhança de outros países, em Portugal, foi considerado relevante a utilização de um sistema digital de identificação e notificação de fatores de risco - em função da proximidade física e da duração do contacto com doentes COVID-19 - como medida complementar da estratégia nacional de resposta à pandemia de COVID-19 e atento o seu interesse no domínio da saúde pública.

Deste modo, foi criado o sistema STAYAWAY COVID, desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas de Computadores, Ciência e Tecnologia (INESC TEC), em parceria com o Instituto de Saúde Pública da Universidade do Porto e as empresas Keyruptive e Ubirider, no âmbito da Iniciativa Nacional em Competências Digitais e.2030.

Por outro lado, é ainda atribuída à Direção-Geral da Saúde a responsabilidade pelo tratamento de dados do referido sistema, que contrata à SPMS - Serviços Partilhados do Ministério da Saúde, E. P. E., os serviços e meios técnicos necessários ao seu adequado funcionamento.

A Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, na pronúncia que efetuou sobre a avaliação de impacto sobre a proteção de dados em relação ao sistema STAYAWAY COVID, recomendou que fosse dado enquadramento legal a alguns dos aspetos respeitantes ao seu funcionamento.

The Myth That Lockdowns Stop Pandemics

The Myth That Lockdowns Stop Pandemics: According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: “There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread. It is hard to imagine that measures like those within the category of social distancing would not have some positive impact by reducing transmission of a human respiratory infection . . . However, the evidence base supporting each individual measure is often weak.”
