ENDCoV will determine their health status and offer solutions according to the results like recommending self-quarantine or getting tested for COVID-19.

Next up, WeTrace is developed by an IT expert from Cebu. It uses geolocation for contact tracing to generate patient mapping.
Users will need to turn their mobile data on to activate the app. Each user will have a unique QR code that helps ensure user's data and privacy is safe.
