#OstaniZdrav

The #OstaniZdrav mobile app is a gadget that lets you know if you've been in contact with an infected person. By using it and following the recommendations, each of us helps to control the spread of the virus and protect the health of ourselves, our loved ones and society as a whole. The new functionality of the application is that we can also enter the events and spaces we have visited into our contacts and entered them into the application by scanning the QR code. You can also use the app to store EU Digital Covid Certificate and submit it for review.

The #OstaniZdrav app helps to curb and control the spread of infections with the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), reduces the burden on the health system and thus allows the country to control the virus with milder measures.

The #OstaniZdrav app alerts us that we have been in contact with an infected person, so there is a higher risk that we have become infected ourselves. Thus, immediately after the warning we receive from the mobile application, we become even more responsible in our actions: we observe our well-being and contact our personal physician at the first detection of symptoms, avoid unnecessary contact with other people, especially vulnerable individuals and we take even more consistent preventive measures (hand and cough hygiene, wearing masks and appropriate interpersonal distance).

By using the mobile application, we act responsibly towards ourselves and others, and at the same time help control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections. The app will greatly facilitate the notification of those individuals who have been in contact with an infected person in the last 14 days. An epidemiological inquiry cannot identify all contacts, such as all passengers on public transport or all visitors who would be in a restaurant at the same time as someone infected with SARS-CoV-2.

VOLUNTARY AND FREE USE

We install the #OstaniZdrav application on our smartphone completely voluntarily and free of charge. After installation, we will be quickly and reliably informed about meetings with users of the application in which SARS-CoV-2 infection has been confirmed and therefore pose a risk of possible transmission of the virus infection to us.

The application does not reveal the location or identity of the infected person, it only reports that two people met or that an infected person was at the event or place you visited. Application features can be disabled or the application completely deleted at any time. This will also delete all information stored by the application.
Even those who are confirmed infected share this information completely voluntarily with other users (obtain a special ten-digit code, which they then enter into the application). In doing so, he reinforces his responsible conduct.

APPLICATION EFFICIENCY

The #OstaniZdrav app will achieve its purpose if you install it on your mobile phone before you get sick. Only in this way will the people we had contact with before we found out about the infection be informed and be able to act in a self-protective manner in a timely manner.

The #OstaniZdrav application was prepared by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) and the Ministry of Public Administration (MPA), with the NIJZ taking care of the content of the application and the MPA taking care of the technical part. Both are joint data controllers, which are processed within the #OstaniZdrav application. The application is intended for use in Slovenia.
