Below is a message from, a friend who has been benefitted from the courtesy Aarogya Setu app, and thus we will recommend you to use the same always and every time on your phone.
Dear friends tomorrow I complete my home Quarantine period 14days after testing positive for Covid. Minor symptoms, no major issues. Would like to highlight one issue that really helped me initially to manage and that is the Arogya Setu App.
I got a ping on my Arogya Setu app on 11Apr 21that I have been in contact with 2 covid positive persons on 06Apr 21 for 20 minutes. I immediately quarantined myself in a room and started the basic medication with stem, gargling, kadha etc.
Sure enough by the 13th my first symptoms set in of sore throat. Got my sample tested on 14th by which time my smell and taste had gone. The positive result was received on the 16th. But till then I had already
progressed halfway through my medications.
Because of the alert, I received from Arogya Setu, firstly I could isolate myself at the beginning itself, thereby ensuring that the rest of the family members did not get infected (Including my aged parents), and secondly was able to start the treatment in the initial stages itself thereby may be reducing the effectiveness of the virus.
