Người dân Trung Quốc sử dụng ứng dụng di động theo dõi diễn biến virus Corona
People in China are using apps on mobile phones to follow and perhaps help slow the spread of the new coronavirus, COVID-19.
Some of the apps provide the latest information about areas hit by the virus, while others collect data on infected persons.

Alipay said it was working with the government to expand the system nationwide.
Tencent, which operates China’s popular messaging app WeChat, reported the launch of a similar QR Code-based tracking system. Tencent developed the system with help from China’s National Development and Reform Council.
