In an effort to help the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) keep track of those undergoing quarantine, a team of professionals and alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) have designed an app — CORONTINE. The app, which has an in-built geo-fencing feature, can help authorities register the asymptomatic carriers of Coronavirus and track them to check whether they are within their quarantined zones. The technology is ready to use and proposals have been sent to the Centre and the BMC.

According to the team, which has designed the app, CORONTINE is flexible, comprehensive, scalable and ready-to-use.
