Aarogya App Must For Workers

Delhi government has issued orders to make Aarogya Setu mobile application mandatory among factory and construction workers returning to work after six weeks of lockdown. The guidelines issued by various districts following Delhi government’s detailed order on relaxation in lockdown to revive economic activities have made it mandatory for industries and construction companies to ensure that the workers download the app on their phones as a preventive measure against the spread of Covid-19. Among other features, the application alerts the user if s/he comes in close contact with a person tested positive for Covid-19. The user, however, will have to keep the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi of his phone turned on all the time. Though the installation of the app has not been made mandatory for the entire population, the Centre has already made it a must for its employees returning to workplaces.
