KATHMANDU: Apple and Google have agreed to work together to find the technology to trace coronavirus.

To help the communities struggling against the wide-spreading coronavirus, the tech-giants have decided to work together to make applications to trace the novel virus.

Smartphone will, with the help of Bluetooth signal, identify the people who have come into contact with the people infected with the coronavirus.

The new technology will send information once the mobile user comes into contact with the coronavirus infected person.

However, the technology will not record GPS location data or individual information.
