Recently, Apple issued a statement on its developer website stating that it would ban all unofficial COVID-19 products from being put on the App Store.

Apple will only accept coronavirus-related apps from "recognized entities, such as government organizations, health-focused NGOs, companies with credentials in health issues, and medical or educational institutions," Apple said in a statement.

Apple said it wants to ensure "the data source is reputable."

In order to ensure that these qualified developers can quickly put COVID-19-related apps on the shelves, developers can mark the App as a "Time-Sensitive Event" program when submitting, which will help speed up the review of the App.

In fact, Apple began to crack down on unofficial new coronavirus apps at the beginning of this month. At that time, it rejected apps from at least four developers. However, as the World Health Organization declared the new coronavirus a global pandemic, Apple also officially announced this ban.
