Together, let’s slow the spread of COVID-19. Canada's COVID Alert app notifies you if somebody you were close to in the past 14 days tells the app they tested positive.

COVID Alert makes use of Bluetooth to exchange random codes with nearby phones. It does not use or entry any location information. COVID Alert works by figuring out how far away other phones are by the energy of their Bluetooth sign.

Several occasions a day, COVID Alert checks a list of codes from individuals who inform the app they examined optimistic. You’ll get a notification if a code you obtained matches one of the positive codes.

If you test positive for COVID-19 you ll obtain a one-time key with your analysis to enter into COVID Alert. The app asks permission to share your random codes from the final 14 days with a central server.

Other telephones utilizing COVID Alert check the central server periodically all through the day. If they recorded any codes that match the codes in the central server, their user will be notified that they were exposed.

COVID Alert has no method of understanding:

-your location - COVID Alert does not use GPS or location services

-your name or address

-the place or time you have been near somebody

-if you're presently close to someone who was beforehand recognized

Provincial and territorial governments are working to support COVID Alert across Canada. In some locations, people cannot but report a COVID-19 analysis through this app.

It’s still useful to maintain COVID Alert on, no matter the place you are. That means, when people are ready to report a analysis, you ll discover out if you have been near them.

COVID Alert was built by Health Canada with the Canadian Digital Service on the private exposure notification framework by Apple and Google.
