PROBLEM 1: The government is using CONTACT TRACING APPS ( CTAs ). Research says if contact tracing is done correctly it can reduce the number of case 3 folds, then why the number is still rising? , the problem with these CTAs is they only tell whether you have come in contact with an infected person or not, what it doesn't tell us that from where the person caught the infection ( the parent source ). let's take an example if there are two-person 'X' and 'Y' and Y got infected then X will get notified by the current CTAs that he might have got an infection as he came in contact with Y, but it doesn't tell from Which PLACE y got the infection, this is crucial as if we don,t find out that PLACE then many other people who had visited that PLACE may get the infection.
PROBLEM 2: According to WHO if all the people maintain safety precaution such as wearing a mask and washing hands can reduce the number of cases drastically.
SOLUTION 1 :
Our project C-TRACK 1st of it's kind of reverse contact tracing app made with google fused location API, so let me explain how Reverse contact tracing works, whenever the user visits a place too frequently like a shopping mall. then that particular location will be saved inside the app and if in future user found COVID +ve then we can track down that shopping mall, the app will also send a notification to all over people who have visited that exact shopping mall, now health authorities can sanitize and lockdown that specific shopping mall instead of locking down the whole locality.
SOLUTION 2: Using google geofencing API, we create a geofence around users house and as the user leaves home he will get a notification ( "wear mask ") and as the user returns home he will get a notification to ("wash hand"), ensuring the full safety of the user and their family.
