Surat Smart City runs IT initiative to fight COVID-19

Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has taken a series of IT initiatives to track positive COVID-19 individuals. For this purpose, details of the individuals who have travelled abroad have been collected through the SMC website www.suratmunicipal.gov.in where the travellers or the other individuals have uploaded their self-declaration forms.

The SMC is also collecting data of all the calls received on the helpline number, besides the information pertaining to international travellers through this website. Upon submission of information, an SMS is sent to individuals with Tracker ID and they are also suggested to download a mobile APP called SMC COVID-19 Tracker.

A helpline number 1-800-123-800 is also provided there for the citizens to share their travelling details. A field team then visits all the suspected individuals and they are assigned a unique tracker ID. They are also asked to stay in home quarantine.
