  • Symptom Tracking: Users can record any symptoms they experience, which can help the HSE monitor the spread of the virus and provide appropriate guidance.
  • COVID-19 Updates: The app provides users with the latest news, statistics, and guidelines related to COVID-19 in Ireland.
  • Privacy and Security: The app is designed with privacy in mind, ensuring that users' data is anonymized and securely stored.
