"To further safeguard our citizens we are introducing 'COVID-Locator' to track home quarantined patients," the official statement stated.
The Goa Health Ministry had collaborated with Intugine to launch the GPS based location tracker. The app is available for download on Android's Playstore.
The Goa Health Department on Saturday said that there are seven positive coronavirus cases in the state so far.
The total number of COVID-19 positive cases rose to 3374 in India on Sunday, as per the data provided the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
