COVID Alert - Let’s protect each other 1.5.3
Together, let’s slow the spread of COVID-19. Canada's COVIDAlertapp notifies you if someone you were near in the past 14 daystellsthe app they tested positive. COVID Alert uses Bluetoothtoexchange random codes with nearby phones. It does not use oraccessany location data. COVID Alert works by determining how farawayother phones are by the strength of their Bluetooth signal.Severaltimes a day, COVID Alert checks a list of codes from peoplewhotell the app they tested positive. You’ll get a notification ifacode you received matches one of the positive codes. If youtestpositive for COVID-19 you’ll receive a one-time key withyourdiagnosis to enter into COVID Alert. The app asks permissiontoshare your random codes from the last 14 days with acentralserver. Other phones using COVID Alert check the centralserverperiodically throughout the day. If they recorded any codesthatmatch the codes in the central server, their user will benotifiedthat they were exposed. COVID Alert has no way of knowing:-yourlocation - COVID Alert does not use GPS or location services-yourname or address -the place or time you were near someone -ifyou'recurrently near someone who was previously diagnosedProvincial andterritorial governments are working to support COVIDAlert acrossCanada. In some places, people cannot yet report aCOVID-19diagnosis through this app. It’s still helpful to keepCOVID Alerton, no matter where you are. That way, when people areable toreport a diagnosis, you’ll find out if you were near them.COVIDAlert was built by Health Canada with the Canadian DigitalServiceon the private exposure notification framework by Apple andGoogle.
