In a bid to ensure effective monitoring of home quarantine citizens, who have recently returned from international trips and those discharged after treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19), the Pune Municipal Corporationhas developed a mobile application called ‘Saiyam’ under the Smart City Mission (SCM). The movement of citizens can be monitored at the central level by the monitoring unit on a real-time basis and can be marked in Red, Amber or Green About Saiyam: The application has GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking, which gives the urban administration an immediate alert in the event of quarantine citizens moving out of the house and a notification is sent to the local ward or local police, after which the family is contacted.
