LGUs can invent their own monitoring system for improved contact tracing for COVID -19.
Overview
Makati LGUs have launched an online application called the "Defeat COVID-19 Monitoring Information System" which aims to contact trace all Makati Citizens manifesting COVID-19 symptoms. This app was made possible in collaboration with IT students from the University of Makati. The user-friendly app provides faster and easier health services for the Makatizens and also with the data being gathered the Makati City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit can investigate and classify suspected patients. They also supply adequate medicine, food and other patient needs.
