India has made it mandatory for all workers to use a government-backed Bluetooth tracing app in its fight against COVID-19.
The app - called Aarogya Setu - will alert users who may have come in contact with people later found to be positive for COVID-19 or deemed to be at high risk.
India's Ministry of Home Affairs, in a statement, added that all public and private companies must ensure "100% coverage of the app among the employees".
The decision, however, has raised concerns over privacy among the public.
This comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended its nationwide control measures for another two weeks, with "considerable relaxations" in lower-risk districts.
So far, the country has reported over 37,000 cases and 1,218 deaths from the virus.
