NEW DELHI: India will within days roll out a version of its coronavirus contact-tracing application that can run on mobile carrier Reliance Jio's cheap phones, as it looks to increase the reach of the system, a senior government official said on May 7.
India, which has imposed the world's biggest shutdown to battle the spread of the coronavirus, last month launched the Aarogya Setu (Health Bridge) app – a Bluetooth and GPS-based application which alerts users who may have come in contact with people who later test positive for Covid-19.
