Description

The app uses big data to help monitor control the virus’ spread individual by individual so that communities could more quickly return to normal. The app uses opaque algorithms and data sources to make judgments about the infection risk of its users. Those with green codes are able to travel freely. Yellow codes should self-quarantine for a week, while red codes must spend two weeks at home.
