The President of the Bulgarian Red Cross Academician Hristo Grigorov received a donation of 50 smart wristbands for people placed under home quarantine. A built-in GPS modul will signal the authorities, if a person violates the quarantine. The voice call function will make it easy for users to make quick contact if they need medical assistance or connection with the responsible services. In the beginning, the bracelets will be tested in Sofia. The donation was made by a company and given to BRC President Grigorov in the presence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Sofia His Excellency Maciej Szymanski.
