As the Covid-19 pandemic continuously affects the world with its newly discovered Omicron variant, the Province of La Union stands still and stronger as the Provincial Government launches the version 2.0 of the NAPANAM Contact Tracing System.

PGLU-Information and Communication Technology Unit (ICTU) headed by Mr. Gerry D. Binas-o, has started introducing the said system to the NAPANAM Focal Personnel and Surveillance Team of the different Local Government Units (LGUs) of the province who are already carrying-out their training on the new version starting January 26, 2022 until February 16, 2022. Pilot LGUs for NAPANAM 2.0 are Balaoan, Luna, Naguilian, San Gabriel, San Juan, and City of San Fernando.

The new version consists of new features which includesSelf-Check-in and Covid-19 Vaccination information.

The Self-Check-in feature has the capability of checking-in into a specific establishment by simply scanning the QR Code provided in the entrance of an establishment. This process can only be done alone by the customer and after which, this check-in will be presented upon entering the establishment.

Next is the Covid-19 Vaccination information, this feature has the capability to detect whether a NAPANAM holder is vaccinated or not as the system was integrated in the covid-19 vaccination system of the PGLU.

Along with these new features, the said system also has its new interface with some other changes on the module of the system.

The PGLU always makes sure to perform at the top of their best to enhance and develop new innovative ideas/processes that can help in mitigating the effects of the Covid-19 crisis.
