WHO praises India's Aarogya Setu App

 

The World Health Organisation(WHO) has applauded India's mobile application called "Aarogya Setu" for helping health departments ease down their work in identifying Covid-19 clusters.

In a brief meeting, WHO director general Tedros Adhanom said "Aarogya Setu app from India has been downloaded by 150 million users, and has helped city public Health departments to identify areas where clusters could be anticipated and expand testing in a targeted way."

Aarogya Setu app was launched in April by the Government of India to protect the Citizens from Covid-19. The main aim of this app is to inform the users about any potential risk of coronavirus infection around them and to provide them with healthy and safety tips.

The wave of Covid-19 in India seems to have dropped down from 90,000 cases per day to 60,000 per day. Yesterday India reported around 55,342 cases as the caseload increased to 71,75,880. There are still 8,38,729 active cases as India has recorded more than 62 lakh recoveries.
