1.44 Million, that is the number of COVID-19 cases Malaysia has recorded thus far. That is potentially 1.44 million instances where the recommended physical distance measures were not adhered to, leading to the transmission of the virus. We're used to checking in using our homegrown app, but what if there were an alternative solution? SM4RT TRACE developed by SAT Asia, can help prevent the spread of Coronavirus by monitoring the distance between two individuals and alerting the wearers accordingly.
