Songpa-gu Mayor Park Seong-su's Creative Administration Knows No Bounds?... Local Government's First 'ByeCorona' App Developed

From COVID-19 Testing to Self-Epidemiological Investigation, Result Inquiry, and Management All in One App... Real-Time Provision of 'Negative Result Certificate'... Increased Resident Convenience and Work Efficiency UP

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is the first local government to develop a COVID-19 app called ‘Bye Corona’ for rapid response at each stage from testing to infection management, and will begin pilot operation from the 16th.

The ‘Bye Corona (BYE Covid-19)’ app is a system that provides a one-stop service covering the entire process from COVID-19 testing, result inquiry, to infection management.

In order to support residents’ quick return to daily life following the transition to With Corona and the introduction of home treatment, the district developed the Songpa-gu COVID-19 mobile app through public-private cooperation with local companies Jangwon Medical Foundation and U2Bio.

Above all, anticipating an increase in demand for COVID-19 negative result certificates due to the transition to With Corona, the app’s core service is to provide a ‘negative result certificate’ in real time through the app when the test result is ‘negative’ after COVID-19 testing.

This is expected to resolve the inconvenience of having to visit institutions in person, apply, and wait for a certain period of time to issue a negative result certificate.

In addition, the app offers functions such as ▲electronic screening clinic questionnaire completion ▲push notifications and inquiry of test results ▲test history inquiry, as well as a service that allows confirmed cases to conduct basic epidemiological self-diagnosis directly.

Through the introduction of the ‘Bye Corona’ app, the district expects to simplify COVID-19 related administrative tasks, provide convenience to residents, and improve work efficiency so that staff such as epidemiological investigators can focus more on tasks for the residents.

The Songpa-gu Public Health Center’s COVID-19 app ‘Bye Corona’ can be downloaded by searching for ‘Bye Corona’ on the Play Store or App Store.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “We will provide advanced administrative services with proactive responses that help residents recover their daily lives through Songpa-gu’s easy-to-use and convenient COVID-19 app,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to ensure residents have no shortcomings in safely and successfully returning to their daily lives.”
