Self-Quarantine Safety Protection app

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

This is a mobile application developed by the Korean government to help people in selfquarantine
(who have been in close contact with confirmed patients or coming from overseas)
monitor their conditions and follow the self-quarantine guidelines.
This GPS-based app automatically alerts both users and the government case officers when users
leave their pre-registered quarantine areas.
