The Ministry of Health will deactivate, on November 2, the ‘app’ móvil Stop Covid-19 Cat, dedicated to follow-up and symptom monitoring of the illness. It is an application similar to the one promoted by the Ministry of Health, Radar Covid.
As the department has announced in a statement, the tool is closed “definitively” after a year and a half of operation and 1,600,000 downloads, since “the needs for surveillance and monitoring of symptoms and activation of emergencies are already covered and consolidated by the primary care and the 061″.
In addition, as the ‘conselleria’ justifies in its press release, “unlike when Stop Covid-19 Cat was born, the pandemic is increasingly under control and access to the health system is stabilizing. “Thus, since Monday, the ‘app’ has ceased to be available for download and, during these days, its users will receive notifications to report its closure.

This mobile application was launched on March 18, 2020, four days after the state of alarm and home confinement was decreed, and its objective was “to allow citizens to monitor and monitor the symptoms associated with covid-19.” In addition, the ‘app’ also offered information about the disease and how to act, at a time when there was a lot of ignorance about the pandemic and when the entire health system was very stressed.
“[Stop Covid-19 Cat] allowed primary care to follow up on the less severe cases and that people with symptoms notify their close contacts “, Salut concludes in its statement.
