Describe the issue

According to the blog article Corona-Warn-App Version 1.7 can perform the exposure check several times a day the exposure check strategy has changed with the release of CWA V1.7. This makes the text of several FAQ articles out of date.

The article says:

"With Corona-Warn-App Version 1.7, the exposure check can be run several times a day so that users are informed about possible risk encounters sooner. This repeated daily check is performed automatically. However, it requires a Wi-Fi connection. The standard daily exposure check is still performed once a day, no matter if the smartphone is connected to a Wi-Fi network or not."

FAQ Link | Current text (partial extract)
-- | --
https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#multiple_exposure_checks | It is therefore not an error that multiple, seemingly simultaneous entries are visible in the exposure check history. (See also https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-website/issues/578.)
https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#exposure_check | When the app was running constantly during the last two weeks, you should see 14 checks within the last 24 hours.
https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#risk_update_24 | Updating only around every 24 hours is due to API restrictions and to ensure consistency between the Corona-Warn-App versions for iOS and Android.

Suggested change

  1. Review each of the articles and modify the text so that it agrees with the blog.
  2. Check that the detailed behavior of the app is described correctly for the currently released version.
