The State Ministry said that this app would especially target Covid-19 patients; however, those who are suffering from other illnesses would also be able to get support from this app. This app would contain relevant information which would be linked to the Health Ministry, and those who seek help would be guided through a proper system. The app is in its final stage of design where the experts are assessing the bandwidth and host-related details. It will also provide information on telephone numbers for medical advice and emergency hospitalisation, as well as on the steps to be taken at home.
