Contact Tracing App Required For Airline Passengers – CAAP

Contact Tracing App Required For All Airport Passengers On Nov. 28

TRAZE – The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced that a contact tracing app is required for all airline passengers starting November 28.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, one of the major concerns for authorities is contact tracing. According to WHO the most effective way to reduce the spread of the virus is to conduct aggressive detection, tracing, and isolation programs.

Furthermore, due to reduced quarantine restrictions, the public can now board flights both domestically and internationally. This opens up the possibility of carriers being brought to or from the country according to some experts. As such, several countermeasures and requirements were imposed, among them was a contact tracing app called “Traze”.
