How to Download Aarogya Setu App on Android:
It is of utmost importance that all of us stay updated about this global pandemic at all time. On the homepage, right at the top, you can access COVID updates to know how we are tackling this situation as a country. The data shows 'Confirmed', 'Recovered', and 'Deceased' numbers. You may filter the information state-wise also to get a closer insight.
E-Pass consists of all important information about you, your organisation, supply chain partner, e-pass validity, type of work, and your location. It is an alphanumeric ID containing 6 digits. The e-Pass will show up on the app only after you register for the pass on http://serviceonline.gov.in/epass/
You can also track the application status of your e-pass on this website.
The 'Call Helpline' button is present on the homepage. You may click on it to reach out to the Aarogya Setu Helpline. The number is 1075.
The 'share button' is present at the top left corner of the homepage. Just click on it and you should be able to share it with your loved ones. At any point, if you wish to change the language of the app, you can do so from the language changer, which is present right beside the share icon.
This app has a dedicated button that helps you donate for the PM Cares fund. Scroll down to the 'PM Cares' section and click on the 'Donate via PM Cares Website'. You will be navigated to the official website where you can donate your contribution towards the relief and emergency situation fund.
The Aarogya Setu App uses contact tracing and records necessary details to let you know if you are close to any individual who has tested positive of the novel coronavirus. This way it ensures that you are aware and safe at all time.
Currently, the application is available in 12 languages - English, Bengali, Marathi, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia, Telugu, Assamese, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil. All 22 scheduled languages are soon to be added to the app.
Upon entering your personal data, the application server assigns a randomised, anonymous, and unique DiD (device identity number), and links it with your mobile phone number. This linked information is then stored safely in an encrypted server, which makes it extremely secure.
All location and contact information associated with unique interactions are stored for a period of 30 days from the collection date. If the information has not synced with the cloud, it will get deleted after 30 days.
This application depends on Bluetooth technology for identifying the instances of your interactions with other individuals who have this application installed. Close proximity data is represented by the Bluetooth technology quite accurately. Thus, turning it on is important.
