[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 4th that it will develop and distribute a 'Self-Quarantine Safety Protection' application to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


The app has been developed separately for self-quarantined individuals and dedicated public officials. Through this, it supports the monitoring tasks of self-quarantined individuals carried out by local governments, and can send alerts if a self-quarantined person leaves the quarantine location. Additionally, it provides self-quarantine guidelines and contact information for 1339 and dedicated public officials.


The Android version will be distributed on the 7th, and the iPhone version on the 20th.



This app will be used with the consent of self-quarantined individuals regarding location information, and will support three languages: Korean, English, and Chinese.
