With the rising number of Covid-19 patients in the Philippines, the country is trying its best to find ways to isolate the situation and lessen the spread of Coronavirus.
With the country’s initiative to fight Covid-19, Multisys Corporation created a website and a mobile application that is approved by the IATF ( Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseaseas) and National Task Force on Covid19 and also in cooperation with other organizations, STAYSAFE.PH was created.
At the moment, you can access it from their website. They are still working on the app which will be available both on Google Play and IOS. This online platform will give real time data on the health condition of patients. This also helps the government track the suspected and confirmed Covid cases in different areas.
How Staysafe.Ph works?
Filipinos who register on the platform will be asked if they are showing symptoms of Coronavirus. Once you registered, you will be asked if you are experiencing any symptoms of the virus.
The website or the app, will come up with a result informing you if your symptoms is considered as mild, moderate, or severe condition.
If you are showing symptoms, the system will send a notification or an alert to frontliners or healthworkers and they will conduct an online health consultation with the patient and do the necessary later on.

On the other hand, it is great to know that scientists are ceaselessly looking for ways to produce a vaccine or a cure against this virus.
But while we are waiting, all we could do now is to protect ourselves, our loved ones and families buy following the social distancing, wear masks all the time, and keeping surfaces clean and virus-free.
I encourage everyone to register at StaySafe.Ph . At this time, it is important that we all unite and fight this virus. We can beat this and we will! Stay safe everyone!
