@MikeMcC399 Transferred to the website repo because it is mostly relevant for the FAQ.

We will have a look at this and update the relevant dates and countries.

I think there is at the moment no consolidated list of the connected countries. But the configured countries in the CWA are the countries package which are downloaded from the EFGS by the CWA server.

I think there is at the moment no consolidated list of the connected countries.

I thought the European Union's list of countries on europa.de - "Mobile contact tracing apps in EU Member States" that I referred to in the original post was the consolidated list of countries, but maybe I am interpreting this page incorrectly? It does not specifically say that the column "Interoperable - can this app already talk to another app?" means that the country is live on the European Federation Gateway Service (EFGS), but I can't think of what this is supposed to mean otherwise.

This list is correct and they are connected to the EFGS but we doing last tests to consume this new EFGS data on our side. Then we will add this countries to our app without an app update.

CWA Android is still only showing only Germany, Ireland & Italy.
The dates for Croatia, Czech Republic and Denmark are all in the past.

So the FAQ still contains out of date information in https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#interoperability_countries.

https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-website/issues/544 from @loki-cui is addressing this issue I see,

I will close this issue as soon as the CWA app agrees with the FAQ https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#interoperability_countries.

The list has been updated through #545 however the way it is worded, gives the impression that Croatia and Czech Republic are already live.

https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#interoperability_countries
Below is a list of currently participating countries and details of the responsible health authorities:
Croatia
Czech Republic

with no date. It would be better to write "planned" against these two countries instead.

Thank you for letting us know that Croatia and Czech Republic are coming this week.
I will close this issue now.
