SMS at the heart of the fight against covid
February 2020, the start of the health crisis: the French government chooses SMS to help raise awareness among more than 67 million French people. Allowing instant, secure dissemination of information, it appears to be the ideal tool.
We explain how SMS has become a key player in the fight against COVID, and why it's a key ally for anyone seeking safety and performance.
An unprecedented campaign signed by the Government
On November 20, 2020, as shops reopen, the French Ministry of Health has decided to raise awareness of health risks. The aim was to encourage the French to download the #TousAntiCovid application. To achieve this, 67 million SMS messages were sent out by telecom operators. In the body of the message, a URL link leads directly to the application download.

French med-tech on the bridge
Since January 18, at-risk people over 75 have been joining firefighters and carers over 50 in the "vaccine race" (by appointment only). French med-tech players are in greater demand than ever, demonstrating their effectiveness in crisis situations. The players we support, such as Doctolib, Maiia and KelDoc, have been selected as official government partners for online appointment booking and vaccination center management. Each uses SMS as a key communication tool to confirm and remind patients of their appointments.

Informing the public
Immediacy and reliability make SMS thepreferred communication tool in crisis situations. People who test positive for the virus (as well as contact cases) automatically receive a SMS message informing them of the results and the steps to take. SMS makes it possible to manage the epidemic by minimizing contamination and, consequently, the risks associated with COVID.
