snoop1130 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Govt prescribes MorChana app as weapon against virus second wave By The Nation The government urged all people to download the MorChana (Doctor Win) application on Tuesday, saying it would protect the country and users from the fresh outbreak of Covid-19. Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesperson of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said the MorChana app records the user's travel information and helps the Department of Disease Control and medics to trace new infections. The app was first launched in April as a way of safely reopening businesses and services. It gives users information on their risk from the virus, which is graded into four levels: • Green for low-risk individuals – no symptoms, no recent travel abroad, no contacts with at-risk people in the past 14 days. • Yellow for people with less risk – flu symptoms, but no travel abroad, or contact with at-risk people. • Orange for people at risk – recent travel abroad or contact with at-risk individual(s) in past 14 days but showing no symptoms. People in this group must stay at home for 14 days to monitor symptoms. If symptoms develop, they should go to hospital immediately. • Red for very high-risk individuals – flu symptoms plus travel abroad or contact with at-risk individual(s) in past 14 days. These people must go to hospital immediately. The app traces the user’s location to notify them if they enter an area at risk from Covid-19. The location information is not available to other users. MorChana can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

Tropicalevo Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 This app can do nothing to protect you from catching the virus. It will, however, let the government track you and blame you as a 'foreign virus spreader'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Worthless if it uses Gps or Bluetooth. The signal can pass trough walls and floors, so you can get pinged is someone positive above or below you on a different floor passes by, or if someone in the next room is positive. That and the security issues when you have bluetooth open at all time, makes it a huge no no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starky Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thought thai chana was the go to app. Or they want to track you on both now just to be doubly sure? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about all those people who aren't the proud possessors of a suitable smartphone on which to download this bloody app???
