Digital tracking and tracing tools have emerged as crucial resources in combating the spread of COVID-19, facilitating efficient vaccination prioritization and population coverage. This paper outlines principles for effective technology-aided tracing and tracking models, emphasizing non-intrusive approaches to uphold individual privacy. It examines resistance factors hindering the adoption of digital tools like Arogya Setu and proposes principles for a prudent common digital tracking system. By addressing privacy concerns and maximizing real-time tracing capabilities, such a system can enhance infection control without compromising individual rights. Additionally, the paper explores methods for collating tracing data to bolster COVID-19 documentation and support vaccination initiatives. Through these discussions, the paper contributes to ongoing efforts to leverage technology in the fight against the pandemic.
