THE UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas announced it will implement the use of a contract tracing application starting Monday to curb the spread of Covid19 cases.

In an advisory, the school’s Office of the Secretary General said all those who will enter the campus, including those visiting the Santisimo Parish Church and the UST Hospital, are advised to download and use the Stay Safe application.

“This is to ensure convenient entry into the premises, subject to compliance with relevant health and security protocols,” UST said.

The office also advised the community to continue updating its health status in the Thomasian Online Medical Services and Support portal.

Similarly, the UST Hospital urged Thomasians to regularly provide truthful information about their health conditions and possible exposure to Covid19.

“Providing truthful information around your current condition does not only protect you but also the people around you. Let us all be conscientious and play an active part in ending this pandemic,” the hospital said in a Facebook statement.
