Health Ministry urges the public to use Covid tracer app

Post by Paphos Life »

Ministry of Health called on Cypriots to use the CoVTracerEN, Cyprus’ national application for mobile phones, in a bid to avoid congestion and contribute to the containment of daily coronavirus infections.

The app’s primary aim is to strengthen and complement the work of Cyprus’ Covid contract tracing unit by informing the citizens in case they come in contact with a confirmed coronavirus case and are assessed, based on an algorithm, as “possible close contacts,” the Ministry said in a press release.

“In the context of the gradual relaxation of restrictive measures and the reopening of areas of possible congestion of persons unknown to each other, the voluntary utilisation of the app contributes to greater citizen safety,” the Ministry added, noting that especially in areas such as restaurants, shopping malls and universities the app constitutes a useful tool which could timely notify the user if he is exposed to the virus.
