COVID-19: Mobile app to track home quarantined people in Chandigarh

Chandigarh: Home quarantined people in Chandigarh will be tracked by a mobile app launched by the union territory administration to ensure COVID-19 norms are being followed.

The app — CVD Tracker — has been developed to identify and geo-fence specific areas around people placed under quarantine. It will be mandatory for people under quarantine to download the application on their mobile phones, an official said.

“Every quarantined user of the app will be fenced within 50-metre radius of his place of quarantine and the quarantined user will have to upload a selfie every hour. The system will match their quarantined location and the location from where they uploaded the selfie,” the official said.
