Covid-19 Hong Kong Info App

It is an Android App created using the MIT App Inventor. With this app, I won 3rd place in the adult track in the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020. The app provides live information about COVID-19 to app users in Hong Kong.

One of the app's key features is its ability to provide live walking alerts, warning users if they are within 20 meters of infected locations. These locations are marked with a red dot, and you can access more information by pressing on the marker. Only markers in close proximity to you will be shown.

The second feature of the app is to show all the locations in Hong Kong that were infected within 14 days on the map. You can have an overview of the situation in Hong Kong. Again, you can know more by clicking on the markers.

The third feature directs users to the Hong Kong government's COVID-19 news webpage. You can read the latest news here.

The final feature is to read the database in a list view. You can check the case number and the infected locations in a list.
