Do You Know The Official COVID-19 Tracking App In India?

Just now, the government has introduced the official COVID-19 tracking app in India named Aarogya Setu. After 4 days of planning and processing, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology with the direction of NIC through Public-Private Partnership has developed this app.

Aargya Setu works on the basis of Bluetooth and location data of smartphones and then can track the users who have been around the coronavirus infected patients. If anyone has been contacted with a patient of COVID-19, that user's data will be shared with the government through the app.

It also states a clear privacy policy that no third parties can know the user's data. It specifies:

"Your data will be shared only with the Government of India. The app does not allow your name and mobile number to be disclosed to the public at large at any time."

The COVID-19 tracking app in India also presents a full list of helpline numbers for coronavirus for every state. Furthermore, a chatbot is also included in the app so that users can raise a query around the pandemic. People whose smartphones are running the Android system will see a further option of updating live tweets from the Health Ministry.

The registration process to the COVID-19 tracking app in India is similar to some other apps. Users need to fill in their phone number and other personal information to complete the process. With the purpose of keeping everyone aware of the infection danger with the virus, the app is free and available on both Android and iOS. It accesses 11 languages to explain the best measures and advice related to medical problems of coronavirus.
