WHO plans to launch a Covid-19 app to help people assess their symptoms. The app will ask people about their symptoms and offer guidance on whether they may have Covid-19.
India, Australia, and the United Kingdom already have released official virus apps using their own technology.
Sources claim that, it would not just make more people aware of Covid-19 symptoms but also prompt them to get tested, instead of passing the disease as cold/flu.
It is said that engineers and designs have been volunteering to develop the new app and will designing it open-source on GitHub. This will allow the code to be open to public input.
Also, the engineers have talked to Apple and Google about adopting the technology that both companies are working on.
