RE: Is this contact tracing?

in STEMGeeks5 years ago

In India they released an app as soon as the lockdown started ( maybe in April 2020 ) called ArogyaSetu app which did exactly this . We could see if there were any COVID positive person nearby through the app but the downside was as you mentioned breach of privacy + people didn't know they have to turn on their bluetooth to make it work lol.

Exactly . Just like wearing the mask like this -

What's the point in it ? I see many people telling , Oh I have Arogya Setu app I am safe but do you even know how to use it?
