I just wanted to post it’s own topic for this, but since it’s so relevant, I’ll just post it here:
Germany has released its coronavirus warning app today. It does not save data in any central location and it is open source.

I've posted to the weekly thread regarding this too.

Amnesty calls out countries with 'most dangerous' contact tracing apps

Is it just my reading, or is the title a bit baity? Title made me think that they banned any app, but it's actually just a specific one. Big difference.
I've reworked the title a little to reflect your concerns.
