In Mumbai, Aarogya Setu App actually saved lives.

#Fact
Couple of weeks ago, from Antop Hill showed symptoms, family had to run from pillar to post to get her admitted. She died upon being admitted. Hospital first refused to release her body ( which is protocol ), then released it.
The family Husband, Daughter and son and few friends who were with the deceased were not even checked by the hospital even when the husband had light fever. Upon returning home after cremation, they realized that they may be infected too. Again authorities wont listen.
They called everybody all numbers in Mumbai but only evasive replies. Finally they downloaded Aarogya Setu App, Reported Postive Symptoms in self assessment test. Within 15 minutes they got calls on their mobile phones and 3 separate ambulances arrived to take them to hospitals
The App works so take it seriously by not joking around as its a punishable offense.

But, my question is why there is no contact tracing happening in Mumbai?
