CAIRO — Ahmed Refaat, member of the parliamentary Telecommunications Committee, submitted April 1 to parliament Speaker Ali Abdel Aal a proposal, to the attention of the communications and information technology minister, and health and population minister, to create an app tracking the location of confirmed and suspected coronavirus cases.
Refaat said that the app would provide daily updates on the latest number of cases, and full names and locations of those infected in the governorates and villages, so as to allow citizens to be cautious and avoid being in close contact with those infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.
