To contain the spread of COVID-19 and keeping alert about it, almost all countries are taking help of technologies and using Mobile apps, based on self-diagnosis and contact tracing system.
The principle of these app is very simple, after downloading the app on your smartphone, you have to answer few questions, based on which, your health position announced by app. All this information is being shared with Government which track you with the help of your live location of your phone. Any subsequent change in your health position, you have to update in the app and accordingly your health history updated with Government records.
