All Employees In The Country Will Have To Compulsorily Use The Aarogya Setu App.

The government has made the use of Aarogya Setu app mandatory for all public and private sector employees while announcing another extension of the ongoing lockdown to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also made the app compulsory for people residing in COVID-19 Containment Zones to enable intensive surveillance and contact tracing in those areas. Authorities have been asked by the government to ensure total coverage of the app among those residents. Aarogya Setu was introduced as a voluntary app by the government in early April, and has seen massive growth in usage thanks to its use being encouraged by PM Narendra Modi and establishments such as CBSE.
