Overview

The stated purpose of this app is to spread awareness of COVID-19 and to connect essential COVID-19 - related health services to the people of India.[4] This app augments the initiatives of the Department of Health to contain COVID-19 and shares best practices and advisories. It is a tracking app which uses the smartphone's GPS and Bluetooth features to track the coronavirus infection. The app is available for Android[5] and iOS mobile operating systems.[6] With Bluetooth, it tries to determine the risk if one has been near (within six feet of) a COVID-19 - infected person, by scanning through a database of known cases across India. Using location information, it determines whether the location one is in belongs to one of the infected areas based on the data available.[4]

  • COVID-19 Updates (gives updates on local and national COVID-19 cases)
  • E-pass integration (If applied for E-pass, it will be available)[8]
