The MySejahtera app that has been widely used in the country has been updated recently with a new function called MySJ Trace. For those who do not know, the ‘MySJ Trace’ feature is an additional feature that was introduced voluntarily to really assist with contact tracing for all the people who live in this particular country that is Malaysia.
The add-on feature that is ‘MySJ Trace’ would use Bluetooth technology and will now allow easier close contact tracing with those who test positive for Covid-19. In addition, the check-out module is removed from MySejahtera. To ensure the effectiveness of the feature, users are required to activate Bluetooth on their devices at all times.
