Remote health check-up platform, COVID-19 prevention app launched
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on April 18 attended a ceremony to launch a remote medical examination and treatment platform and Bluezone application to help the community in COVID-19 prevention and control.
If the app user is positive for the SARS-CoV-2 (known as F0), through the saved data, health authorities can identify the F1 in close contact with F0 and the system will alert the F1 users about the risk of infection. They will be also provided with instructions to contact the competent health authorities for assistance.
The Bluezone app is said to be confidential, anonymous and transparent, as it only stores data on the user’s phone, and does not transfer user’s information and location to the system.
