How Does The Aarogya Setu Coronavirus Tracker App Works

The new app shows your risk level in Green and Yellow color codes. It also suggests what to do.

For example, if you are marked in Green with a text saying ‘You are Safe’ then you just continue taking precautions like social distancing and staying at home.

However, if you are marked in Yellow with a text saying ‘You are at high risk‘, you need to contact a helpline number in your state along with other guidelines.

To find a close-by help center, tap on the Covid-19 Help centers button and scroll down to location once in your city.

Additionally, you can use the ‘Self Assessment Test’ feature on the Aarogya Setu app. Once you tap on this option, the app opens a chat window where it asks questions related to your current health and symptoms.
