ZAGREB, July 16, 2020 - The government on Thursday amended its decision on developing a mobile application in support of contact tracing in the event of contagious diseases whereby it included the Health Ministry in this task.
Health Minister Vili Beros is authorised to conclude a contract with the APIS IT company on preparing a digital platform to trace and manage COVID-19 infections.
The funds in the amount of HRK 625,000 (€83,000) are ensured for the first stage of the development of the platform.
Specialists of the APIS IT, the Croatian agency that provides services to the public and government sector in planning, development, and maintenance of their information systems, are working on the design of the Croatian version of a mobile application in support of contact tracing for COVID-19, the Jutarnji List daily reported this past Saturday.
Contact tracing is perceived to be of particular significance as containment measures are lifted.
