Gov't hopes MyTrace will be adopted by at least 60 percent of mobile phone users in the country.
The government today announced its contact tracing app "MyTrace" to help manage Covid-19 infections and hopes it will be adopted by at least 60 percent of mobile phone users in the country.
He explained the app does not collect location data but instead records who a user had come in contact with by communicating with the mobile phone of other users through Bluetooth. "The collected data will be stored on the user's phone for 21 days. The user's information will be confidential and it also does not collect geolocation data," Ismail, who is the senior minister in charge of overseeing the movement control order, told a press conference in Putrajaya today.
"To ensure its effectiveness, we are targeting an adoption rate of around 60 percent of mobile phone users in the country."If there is a new Covid-19 cluster, MyTrace can help the Health Ministry to trace the chain of infection," he said.
