                     integrated version of the "COVID-19 Checkup" app, which is widely used
                     at home and abroad.                                       COVID-19 Checkup app

                     disaster caused by COVID-19, providing active
                     support for the government-wide response to the
                     pandemic by mobilizing all available resources as
