Since the imposition of the Movement Control Order (MCO) by the government of Malaysia on 18th March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Health (MOH), in Malaysia introduced an application named "Mysejahtera" to track the infected or suspected cases instead of manual tracking to saving cost and time. However, due to the huge number of users and controlling the spread of the virus we proposed a new framework using Fog Computing (FC) technology, to integrate low power-consumption by adding Identification Generator (IDG), and Risk Detector Fog Computing (RDFC), and improves secure connectivity efficiently. Based on FC concept the mobile users will consider as Internet of Things (IoT) environment, and the central storage is Cloud Computing (CC). This extension ensures the application performance higher than the original version of Mysejahtera application and notifies the users of the affected or suspected cases around.
