Abstract
What enabled the widespread transmission of Covid-19 in most affected countries that brought about the current pandemic is the loose border control and travel restrictions. Several countries have at least mitigated the onset of transmission with the utilization of application that tracks the arrival and mobility of travellers. As the first line in defence for a local community outbreak, this study proposes a travel and mobility management system that aims to ease the application and coordination of travellers with local government units (LGUs). The proposed work implements a mobile application for travellers and a web-based dashboard for local government units and other important entities. The study is envisioned as a complementary tool in local disease outbreak control and mitigation utilizing the traveller`s mobility history (entry and exit points) that can become the basis to easily identify and trace possible close contacts of positive cases.
