Aarogya Setu is an app that a person can download on their mobile device. This app was created by the government of India as a way to help people identify if they have come in contact with someone that has the virus. It works by using the Bluetooth and location settings to keep track of a person's location and identify if they have come in contact with anyone that has had the virus.

It also assesses other risk factors that would make them prone to the virus. Geotagging through Bluetooth is a vital function of this application, but it can examine how close an infection is to the user.

The Aarogya Setu App will not be the most downloaded app in India if it's not a helpful app. The thing is, a lot of people think that this is an effective app precisely because it can provide the details that people would like to know, such as the symptoms of having the COVID 19 virus.

People also like the fact that they can be informed if they are currently in a high-risk area, which means that the area is known to have a lot of cases of the virus. At the same time, they will also be informed if there are some people who are nearby who are confirmed to have the virus currently. This will at least help people understand the risks that they might take whenever they have to leave their homes.

One of the first things that people would like to know about the app is how it can be downloaded. This is free to be downloaded in both Android and Apple devices. This will work in such a way that it will help track the current location of people.

They will be informed if there are some cases of Coronavirus near them so that they can consider if they would still need to go out or not. At the same time, they can also use the diagnostic tool of the app so that they can track if they are starting to feel some symptoms of the disease. The information that they will gather will be sent to the government so that people can be informed if they need to self-isolate.

Aarogya Setu is a mobile application that a user can download to inform them of the risk of catching the virus, especially if they have come in close contact with someone who has the virus. For the app to work, after a person downloads it on their phone, they must allow their location to be enabled at all times.

This is the only way the app will properly work, because it tracks places you have been and who you may have come across. The user will also need to give personal information such as name and gender. The app not only tracks where you may have been, but it tracks who close to you has the app and if they tested positive.

Aarogya Setu app helps people identifying the symptoms, offer them the best safety precautions and other pertinent information regarding the spread of COVID -19. The app, which is a coronavirus tracker of sorts, works based on contact tracing and can assist a user in identifying a possible or prevalent COVID-19 location.

It helps people to stay safe and obtain the necessary precautions in some areas where there are cases. Its ambition is to thwart community transmissions to an extent. Through the basis of geotagging, it can also alert a particular user about their proximity to a nearby case of infection or infectious area. It also identifies the risk and monitors their health assessment. It considers the overall safety of the user by warning them away from clinics or health facilities that are not secure for the user.
