The number of users of the Ashyq project in Kazakhstan reached 300,000. Despite the epidemiological situation, it will cover all regions from today, announced Deputy Director of Health Service Department at the “Atameken” National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, Assel Muratkhanova.
“If you passed PCR testing and the result is negative, then you will have a “green” status for 72 hours. After 72 hours, or if you have not passed PCR testing at all, your status will be “blue”. If you tested positive, the status will be “red” for two weeks. It does not matter if you passed PCR testing, recovered or not, the status will remain the same for two weeks. All contacted people will have a “yellow” status,” she said.
To use the app, you just need to download it and enter the individual identification number. Then you will have the opportunity to freely visit any institution which supports the Ashyq project.
“First, it makes it possible for entrepreneurs to work and run their business. This is particularly relevant for bowling, billiard rooms, computer clubs, karaoke, which are closed to date. Plus, of course, it is a matter of safety. We prevent the spread of the disease this way,” Muratkhanova added.
The project is developed by Kazakh IT experts together with Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry. Its main goal is to help entrepreneurs. According to experts, many countries have an analogue of the Ashyq project. Therefore, they are confident that there will be no difficulties in the future.
