Aarogya Setu App: COVID-19 Tracker
What is Aarogya Setu App?
India has been at the forefront of efficient management of COVID-19 pandemic with timely lockdown since the last week of March 2020. The Ministry of Electronics and IT of the Government of India released India’s COVID-19 tracker tool called the Aarogya Setu app online. The Arogya Setu is an application that tracks COVID-19 cases around an individual to keep him/ her informed if they have come across or are in close contact with someone who has tested positive while Covid -19 testing.
The Aarogya Setu application that tracks COVID-19 cases around you uses Bluetooth technology and location of your phone, so you need to keep both these switched on at all times. The Arogya Setu app online will alert you if you unknowingly come in close contact or proximity with someone who has tested positive, even before you develop any symptoms.
