Return to: Technology NewsNew app helps prevent government shutdown of businesses29 June 2020, Johannesburg – With South Africa officially registering the highest number of COVID-19 cases on the continent, businesses and establishments are at increased risk of forced shutdowns and further financial losses. South Africa now officially stands at 138,134 cases and 2,456 deaths, placing the South African government under increased pressure to implement additional drastic measures to curb the spread of the disease. But the severe economic impact of lockdown measures means that alternative actions need to be identified and swiftly implemented. “The next logical move is that the government will focus on regulatory compliance, which will result in the temporary shutdown of businesses and establishments,” said Italo Olivier, Managing Director of KNOX Screening Software. “This can have dire effects with further financial losses, and that is exactly why we developed our screening software – to ensure regulatory compliance and safeguard organisations”. KNOX Screening Software consists of a mobile app and admin interface that fully automates the COVID-19 screening process. “Our software adheres to the strictest government regulations, while also being fully compliant to global privacy requirements,” said Olivier.
