Residential properties and apartment buildings played a critical role in protecting the health and safety of their occupants during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were in charge of enforcing the measures and ensuring that inhabitants adhered to the restrictions. ADDA, an online platform, has shown to be a very useful tool for reaching these goals.
