As first responders are also increasingly testing positive for coronavirus, it has become high-priority to introduce measures which could help in prevention or early detection.

Stanford Medicine has developed a new app, called the First Responder COVID-19 Guide, to help first responders screen their symptoms and schedule an appointment at Stanford Health Care if needed, the official release notes.
