Some of the patients infected with the ill-fated coronavirus can be treated at home if the disease is mild. The deputy mayor of the capital Anastasia Rakova said that it makes no sense to hospitalize them. However, at the same time, it is necessary to establish control over the sick. 

Therefore, they are encouraged to use a special mobile application. Alexei Venediktov, editor-in-chief of the Echo of Moscow radio station, announced this in his telegram channel.

The head of the Moscow Department of Information Technology, Eduard Lysenko, noted that the Social Monitoring application is needed only for those who have been diagnosed with coronavirus. If a person does not have a smartphone, then he will receive the equipment free of charge.

In addition, a special gadget can be obtained if the patient does not want to install the application on his smartphone. True, it is worth clarifying that at the end of the quarantine, the equipment will need to be returned to the department. Lysenko separately assured everyone that personal data of users would not be transferred “to any foreign countries.”
