Yen Bai aims half of subscribers to install COVID-19 contact-tracing app Bluezone

Friday, August 14, 2020

YBO - Yen Bai now has more than 770,000 mobile phone subcribers, including over 480,000 smartphone users.

Officials of Minh Tan ward, Yen Bai city instruct people on how to install Bluezone on smartphones.

Ha Van Ngoc, Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communications, said the province is striving to have over 50 percent of local subcribers installing coronavirus contact-tracing mobile app Bluezone.

In response to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s call for mass installation of Bluezone, the Yen Bai People’s Committee has requested provincial departments, agencies, organisations as well as district administrations to encourage their staff and all people to download the app.

Bluezone was developed to identify and alert people who have interacted with COVID-19 patients. It relies on Bluetooth signal to log when two users are near each other, information that can later be used for contact tracing of COVID-19 cases.

All staff of the provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union have installed Bluezone and the union plans to increase the number of downloads among its grass-root chapters and instruct people on how to install the app.

Similarly, women’s unions at all levels have actively raised awareness of the contact-tracing app among their members and help them install it.

Communal administrations in Yen Bai city, the capital of the province, have handed out leaflets to every homes and to those visiting headquarters of communal People’s Committees to instruct them on installation of the app./.
