Use Bluetooth technology Along with some other techniques to link information (medical declarations, health situations, etc.), tracing and storing contact history details (the Ministry of Health and government will only use the information obtained with your permission) to be able to identify and notify people who have had a history of close contacts with people with the disease (COVIDSafe app, 2021). or suspected infection (Australian Government Department of Health, 2021). The use of the App will make medical declarations in areas need to declare medical intentions quickly as well as minimize the inconvenience and difficulty in screening of health workers and also help the government get information about the situation of spreading the disease accurately so that measures can be taken. responding to the spread of the pandemic. For users and the public, the use of the App also allows the wearing of masks so they all help us to be able to protect ourselves as well as our families, everyone in the community we live in and limit and control the spread of the epidemic. Q2: how the data generated through this app can be used to generate 'knowledge' Frick8 (2019, pg.34) It has been said that knowledge can be seen as a kind of skill in instrumental contexts instead of understanding something. Knowledge and information need to be together to be able to be understood and made knowledgeable, just as we want to understand the meaning of the information available, it is necessary to turn it into 'knowledge'.

Liew (2013, pg.50) argues that synchronized knowledge and information represent knowledge. While Covid-19 is still not spreading, creating traceability, destruction, prevention measures from the exploitation and use of important data collected through COVIDSafe is a top priority. Understanding the direction of movement, habits, or reasons why outbreak areas are spreading rapidly can be interpreted as knowledge gained from data. Therefore, reviewing the data obtained through COVIDSafe and using it for the purpose
of generating knowledge from creating principles can uncover new ways of doing things that are more effective in dealing with the Covid pandemic. Q3: How
