The app will help to:
1. Follow-up on those who are in quarantine and ensure their permanent presence at home or hotel during the period.
2. Official bodies can reach as quickly as possible the persons suspected of being infected and provide the necessary health care.
3. Will alert if coming in contact with infected people.

By sourcing health information automatically from competent authorities, the profile of each user is linked to the QR code shown according to the following categories:
Green: Healthy individuals with no symptoms or those with negative outcomes.
Grey: Suspected cases, individuals who have symptoms, or are in contact with positive cases and have not been examined.
