Coronavirus: CMP launches mobile app to monitor home quarantine
To prevent spread of coronavirus, Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) have launched a mobile app aiming to monitor the home-quarantine of people who came into contact with Covid-19 positive patients.
The mobile application "Stay Home, Stay Safe", prepared by Inovace Technologies, was inaugurated by CMP commissioner Md Mahabubor Rahaman on Thursday evening at CMP Headquarters.
Police officials said the app has geofencing technology, which will ensure the current location and status of home-quarantined people. Apart from that, the app has a notification system and it will send notification and alert to both home-quarantined people and the web-based admin panel if they try to go outside of their designated areas.
At the same time, the web-based admin panel will convey the information to the concerned police stations or monitoring units to take necessary steps in this regard, said the police officials.
CMP officials said police are now under huge pressure but their time will be saved along with ensuring proper monitoring through the app. Apart from that, police personnel are able to avoid close contact with home-quarantined people, ensuring their personal safety.
CMP headquarter sources said primarily the app has been introduced under 16 police stations but it will be spread across the country. Currently, 41 home-quarantined people are being monitored under the app.
Senior police officials of CMP and Inovace Technologies officials were also present during the lunching progamme.
