Like other few countries, India also launched a contact tracing app called Aarogya Setu last month. This app launched on the 6th of April for both the Android and iOS platforms. It took only 13 days to cross 50 million downloads and in another 28 days, it crossed 100 million or 10 crore individual users.
The Indian government made this app available in eleven languages so that maximum Indians can use it and safety gets the priority, not the language. The Setu app contains a specially prepared set of questions. The analysis of the answers will help users to identify if his/her symptoms are of corona or not. Besides it also can warn if the user has any chance to get affected or not.
Rather than providing a set of questions, this app also tracks your location through Bluetooth and GPS. The intention is to notify the presence of any corona patient near you. Though some experts have enough doubt about the security of the stored location related data. The government doesn’t make this app as open-source for the same reason.
Last of all, the plan for this Aarogya Setu app was taken for the public safety and seems it is working well. So, obey the instructions given by the Health Ministry, get all the information from authorized sources in the Aarogya Setu app. Stay Home and Stay Safe.
