Government offices, private companies, hotels, business establishments, and public transportation units are required to use the application and adopt a Safety Seal, said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
The Stay Safe application is free to download and doesn’t need a mobile prepaid load to function. Instead of filling up names on contact-tracing sheets manually, users can just capture the QR Codes displayed in malls, banks, restaurants, trains, and buses.
Also, the app will notify you and other users if any people positive for the virus have contact encounter with you. Upon opening the app, users are asked to input basic information such as your name and health condition.
The departments of trade, health, labor, local government, tourism, and transportation were ordered to issue a joint memorandum circular detailing the requirements to secure a Safety Seal and the guidelines for adoption of the Stay Safe app.
