Download the COVID Alert App
10 Aug 2020
If you’re a Canadian resident and have a smartphone, the COVID Alert App is a tool you should be using. The app uses bluetooth codes to inform you if you have been in contact with a positive COVID case within the last 14 days. It does not have access to your privacy or location settings but rather sends numerical codes to other phones in your vicinity who also have the app. When a positive case arises, anyone whose phone has shared codes with that individual’s device is notified.
The federal government has given us an extremely useful tool by creating this app. It takes very little effort to set up and helps us all do our part to stay informed and reduce the spread of COVID-19.
