Corona Kavach app: In its bid to contain the spread of Coronavirus in India, the Modi Government is taking all kinds of steps to ensure the spread of the virus is slowed down and stopped as soon as possible with minimum loss in terms of human lives and economic hardship.

Now the Modi Government has launched a location-based COVID-19-tracking app called the Corona Kavach, the app geo-traces users’ location and lets them know if they’ve come in contact with a coronavirus-infected person. Its beta version on Google Play Store has notched up more than 10,000 downloads in two days.

This Corona Kavach App has been designed in such a way that it will alert you about the Coronavirus infected patient in and around your locality. Corona Kavach App download can be done from the Google Play Store. Currently, this app is available in the beta version.

Features of Corona Kavach App

Corona Kavach comes with additional features that can track your breathing capacity and a survey form which lets you check symptoms and guides you to see a doctor if needed.

It also includes government advisories and safety recommendations related to the novel coronavirus and provides auto-updates.

The app asks for location access, after which you have to create an account through a simple mobile number verification.

Modi Government has designed this app to keep you updated about the COVID-19 virus spread. It can track the data on an hourly basis. If you happen to be near any Coronavirus infected people, this app will send alert signals to your device. It will be able to do that by tracking you and match the data with corona patients and indicate your proximity to them. App users can sign on to the Corona Kawach App through the mobile phone number. Then it will start tracking you through the GPS system and keep you updated about the above-mentioned information.
This app shows coronavirus infected persons around you through colour coding. There are two colours in this app that reflect the user has never come across a COVID-19 infected patient and the other reflects that the user has come across the COVID-19 infected patient.
This Corona Kawach App has been designed to keep your privacy in mind – it ensures there is no breach in your privacy. That means your information stored in this app won’t be shared with any other person.
