Activities during COVID 19
Aarogya Setu App Installation
​
Among many other initiatives the government has launched the Aarogya Setu mobile app to make citizens aware of the coronavirus pandemic. The app is aimed at augmenting initiatives of government to proactively inform citizens about the best practices and relevant advisories pertaining to the containment of COVID-19. Additionally, it also instructs the user on how to self-isolate and what to do if he/she develops any symptoms. In case, you are in a high-risk area or proximity to a coronavirus patient, the app advises you to go for a test and call toll-free number 1075 to schedule an appointment at a nearby testing centre.

On 25th of April employees of Odisha, West Bengal and Assam location conducted awareness program by visiting door to door while maintaining all the precautionary measures like 1 meter distance and mandatorily used of face mask etc. 14 employee volunteers were engaged reaching out to more than 200 people.
