Over 3.6 million downloads of MySejahtera app, most popular 'hotspot tracker'

More than 3.6 million individuals have registered and used the MySejahtera application since its launch on April 20.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the application has been a proud achievement and would be a boon to the realisation of the digitalisation of health in the country.

Among the most used MySejahtera functions are hotspot trackers; self-assessment; the latest statistics for COVID-19 in Malaysia, ASEAN countries and around the world.

“MySejahtera Check-In is a new function introduced on June 1, 2020 and has been widely used since June 6, 2020.

"This function has been well received. In just 13 days, 119,837 business premises have registered for QR code and 10,006,857 check-ins posted from around the country," he said at a press conference here on Monday.

Dr Noor Hisham said hotspot tracker was the most popular feature among users after being used 13.3 million times since the launch of the app.

He said the app's features could be used to plan movements that could help users avoid the Red Zone area.

“Assessing health risks to dependents (such as parents and children) can be done easily; self-assessments can be done from time to time and so on,” he said.

In this regard, Dr Noor Hisham said the MoH welcome the people who had not downloaded the MySejahtera application to do so.
