The “Stay Safe ” digital device designed under the guidance of the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) with the aim of containing the spread of COVID – 19 pandemic was introduced to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Tracing close associates of COVID infected and the movements of the disease carriers are the two major challenges in preventing the spread of the virus. The “Stay Safe” project has been designed as a solution to these two problems.

The new initiative was introduced by the Chairman of ICTA Jayantha de Silva during the daily meeting presided over by the President with the members of the Presidential Task Force on COVID – 19 Prevention yesterday (4).

The new device is based on a QR code. The project will be implemented in a simple manner that is easily accessible to all parties involved in COVID prevention, commercial and public sector entities and the general public.

A unique QR code to each organization can be obtained by visiting staysafe.gov.lk website. The project will come into effect from next Saturday (7).

The QR code can be easily acquired using a smart phone by entering basic information such as the name, address of any organization, name and the telephone number of the owner. The code can be printed and displayed at the organization.

Everyone whether he or she owns or does not own a mobile phone will be registered and their whereabouts could be identified. Steps will be taken by the ICTA to make the public aware of these information through all media.

How Stay Safe COVID Tracer works

Contact tracing is the process of identifying, assessing and managing people who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 to break chains of transmission and prevent onward transmission.

1. Scan QR, send SMS to 1919 or enter your NIC/Passport number whenever you enter or leave any given location

2. Your Check-In & Check-Out times will be compared with the times of others who visited the same location

3. If a person who was tested positive for the virus was at the same location at the same given time you will be notified
