According to the statement given by the Corporation Commissioner G. Prakash, if any person has symptoms like fever, dry cough and breathlessness, the individual just has to take a selfie and send it through the app. The GCC receives the location of the user immediately. “It will reach our server and instantly we will know the location. Our medical team can then examine whether the symptoms are normal or require a higher level of medical attention,” he stated. The reports revealed that the app is widely being downloaded across the state of Tamil Nadu and experts are monitoring the health situation of 24,000 quarantined patients.
