We built a contact tracing app to help curb the spread of the #COVID19 Pandemic in Nigeria & the world at large.

The App does basically thread things; Contact Tracing, Symptoms Checking, and Geofencing

Here's a link to learn more and download the app - https://covid2geda.org 
The app allows users to get alerted when they come within a certain distance of an area with confirmed cases.

It displays the number of affected people in a given location.

It also has a symptoms checker for you to ascertain if you have COVID-19 or not.

If a check comes out positive, the app has a feature that calculates the distance between your current location and a test center or isolation center. 

If one decides to reach out to the  @NCDCgov, their number is right there on the app.

The app is using a technology called B.L.E (Bluetooth low energy) which helps in scanning for other users of the app who enabled contact tracing on it.

With this technology, the app is able to continually scan for other users while the phone is turned on.
