After almost 1 hour demo and orientation, he said that it was good since it is user-friendly; easy to use even the ordinary person can simply join since it does not require smartphones and internet connections.
“Okay siya maganda at simple lang at madali kasi kahit ordinaryong tao kaya niya i operate kasi user-friendly lang siya at the same time wala siya masyadong maraming proseso.” He amphasized.
Other countries such as Wuhan, China the epicenter of this pandemic used this tool for an effective and fast system in terms of contact tracing.
“Nagamit na rin ito sa ibang bansa gaya ng Wuhan, meron din silang ganito.
