However, Once the person turns positive, those people who have interacted with him prior to 14 days of him turning positive has to be traced for testing and other measures and it is completely dependent on his/her memories.

Government of India has come out with an IT tool called Arogya setu app which helps us to identify all the persons who have come in contact with the person turning positive in last 14 days which will be an effective method of tracing than the dependence on individual’s ability to recall his movement.

Keeping in view the above and Government after careful consideration of the issue, it is hereby decided to make the downloading of Arogya setu app by all the employees working in the secretariat or any visitors coming to secretariat in their mobile Mandatory.
