Low-Code Training
To tackle this challenge, the GeneXus Low-Code platform allows for the agile and secure creation of web and mobile applications.
Recently, the Minister of Tourism announced that tourism will be reopened to European citizens. You can read the article here: Uruguay will reopen tourism to European citizens
Therefore, I think it should also be noted that as part of this process the Coronavirus UY App will incorporate a new functionality for foreigners who come to Uruguay after the reopening of the country’s borders for visitors according to the Presidential Decree dated July 15.
In this context, a system for the electronic reception, storage, and retrieval of the affidavits and tests required by the above decree is proposed to be implemented.
Travelers begin the process of submitting a digital border declaration together with their PCR test (COVID-19) in their country of origin before starting their trip to Uruguay. The possibility of using paper copies of the form and the PCR test are considered for each step.
This system called “Digital Border Declaration” will allow starting the entry process to Uruguay and required controls in the travelers’ country of origin, thus avoiding the unnecessary handling of papers or other physical means and making the process more agile.
It is part of a broader system that is being developed by GeneXus Consulting (including the web form, border systems, back office, tasks for the Ministry, etc.).
We at GeneXus are working on the app’s integration, so that the form is integrated into Coronavirus UY, where people can complete it and obtain the certificate (a PDF file with a QR code) to enter Uruguay.
Some technical characteristics:
The Coronavirus UY application has been downloaded by more than 600,000 people, of which about 300,000 are active users and 200,000 have enabled exposure notifications.
