All Central govt. officials to use Aarogya Setu app

All Central government officials, including the outsourced workforce, have been directed to immediately download the Aarogya Setu App on their mobile phones. The officials, through an office memorandum on Wednesday, have been told by the Department of Personnel and Training to review their status on the app before starting for office and commute only when it shows their status as ‘safe’ or ‘low risk’. In case the app shows a message that an official has a ‘moderate’ or ‘high risk’, calculated on the basis of Bluetooth proximity, he or she should stay away from office and go in for self-isolation for 14 days till the status becomes ‘safe’ or ‘low risk’, the order says. The instructions for ‘effective use’ of the app have been issued “for breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19”.
