COVID Watch PH

Philippine government’s official public registration system for COVID-19 cases

COVID WATCH PH is a registration and contact tracing app available to the public to

aid in the monitoring of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.  The system comes with a

mobile app for public registration (including those confirmed and suspected cases of

COVID-19) and a cloud-based COVID WATCH data repository.

To implement, each barangay will be provided with the COVID WATCH PH system.  All

the gathered data will be provided to the Department of Health and other concerned

government agencies for appropriate actions to be taken.

COVID WATCH PH is a joint effort of the Department of Information and

Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Social Welfare and Development

(DSWD), and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).
