How Mera COVID Kendra Mobile App Worked

When someone opened the app, all approved test centres within a 5 km radius were visible on the map view. Users also had the option of searching for test centres through the search tool by keying in the address or name of the centre.

Field level officers compiled the details of testing centres. For each centre, they recorded details like GPS location, address, name, mobile number, landline number and pin code on a special mobile app. Once these details were collected, they reflected on the web portal of the district administration. The final step before a centre started appearing on the app was approval by the district administration.
