After finding it confusing, he understands that it is through the app that the virus-infected persons and areas can be traced. About Arogya Setu app The Arogya Setu app was developed by the ministry of electronics and IT two weeks ago and has already been downloaded over million times from Google play store and Apple app store. The app has numerous functions, including a self-assessment tool where one can answer questions to know the likelihood of one’s chances to have got infected. The app allows one to know if they came in contact with a person who tested positive, before or after the meeting. The information tracked in the app, will be used by the government to take the requisite steps to curb the pandemic. Meanwhile, the film stars have been contributing to various other initiatives of the union and state governments. Some have urged the virus-recovered to donate blood, some have urged to step up against domestic violence, among other initiatives. Many have also contributed to the various relief funds.
