About careFIJI

careFIJI is a mobile application developed by the Fijian Government under the digitalFIJI initiative to assist the Ministry of Health and Medical Services streamline and speed up its manual contact tracing efforts. By opting into this voluntary initiative, Fijians can help stop the spread of COVID-19 and save lives by harnessing the power of technology – all while maintaining their absolute security and privacy. Using Bluetooth technology that does not capture any location or GPS information, careFIJI is based on the open source reference implementation of TraceTogether mobile application developed by the Singaporean Government.

careFIJI uses Bluetooth signals to determine if you are near other careFIJI users. This close contact data is anonymised, encrypted and stored on your mobile phones.

Only a mobile number is required to activate the careFIJI app and Ministry of Health and Medical Services officials will use the same number to call you to conduct contact tracing.

Need better instructions

We tried and tried to get our verification code from the App. The IT person from the hotel had to help us. We are from the USA and we incorrectly thought we needed to enter our country code. We simply entered +1 and cell number. Turn in your roaming and blue tooth.

Use +country code and spaceless #

So I write software for a living and have a science PhD. When I cannot get an app to work, it’s usually pretty bad… This one was presumably rushed and not tested with any real users. Had they tested, they would have figured out quickly that when you ask for a phone number in any context, and especially an international one, you need to provide a format example. Beyond that, best practice is to provide validation hints at data entry time. My title is meant to be the missing format hint. Finally worked for me with exactly that format. But not easily or the first time. I’m sympathetic with the intent and the likely rush. BUT SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS!
