The Saudi Ministry of Health just released a new app to monitor the conditions of people that might have contracted the coronavirus disease). The Tatamman ('rest assured' in Arabic) app enables individuals who are self-quarantine to unlock reliable advice and information on the novel virus and their own health status.
Ministry spokesman, Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aly, said: “It (the app) is for those who have the symptoms, or recently returned to Saudi Arabia, those who have been in direct contact with a positive case, as well as those currently under home quarantine as instructed by the ministry.”
