It would appear that many people see merit in blockchain technology to fight the coronavirus crisis on a global scale. Algorand is the latest project to throw its hat into the ring, as its new blockchain app launched earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Algorand is a relatively established project in the blockchain space.<\/p>\n
Albeit it never generates many headlines, the latest effort is worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n
The Singaporean company is launching a new application called IReport-Covid.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, it is designed to help those in need during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n
Its main order of focus is to prevent the virus from spreading further.<\/p>\n
In the application, users are asked to fill in a survey which will be recorded on the Algorand blockchain.<\/p>\n
As the global coronavirus toll keeps rising, efforts like these are direly needed first and foremost.<\/p>\n
Over 600,000 confirmed cases have now been recorded all over the world.<\/p>\n
IReport-Covid is designed to cater to both symptomatic and non-symptomatic users alike.<\/p>\n
Once there are ample reports, the aggregated statistics will be made publicly available.<\/p>\n
This information can then be used by the proper instances to determine how the domestic situation has evolved.<\/p>\n
Putting an end to this global pandemic will require ample work, but it remains to be seen how things will evolve exactly.<\/p>\n
