Covid Radar application
The Government of Asturias urges the population to download the Radar Covid application, a tool that facilitates the work of identification and traceability of possible contacts carried out by primary care professionals and epidemiological surveillance services. This technology allows users to communicate, without revealing their identity, a positive diagnosis, in addition to warning of possible exposure to the virus to other users with whom they have been in contact.
