The Army has asked all serving personnel to download and use the Aarogya Setu application with precautions until the novel coronavirus outbreak lasts.
It has also advised veterans and their families to use the application, released by the government for contact-tracing and dissemination of advisories.
As part of the precautions, the personnel have been advised not to use the application on office premises, and in operational areas and sensitive locations.
An Army source said the personnel should not disclose their service identity, including rank and appointment, and the contact list of the user should not contain any reference to rank, appointment or service.
