Getting Started

As COVID-19 represents a novel public health crisis, apps of this nature can only be published to the Apple App Store or Google Play by legal entities. Therefore, this app can only be run locally at this point in time. Please follow the instructions below:

Install Flutter on your computer and optionally set up an emulator/simulator.
Clone the project & open it in your IDE or code editor. We worked with Android Studio and VS Code.
Install and run on an emulator/simulator or physical device.
