Health Canada has released a new COVID Alert app to help warn residents across the country if they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
You can also use it to quickly report a COVID-19 diagnosis in Manitoba and select participating provinces.
The app strives to collect as little personal information as possible, and does not rely on your phone's GPS. You can learn more about how the app works at the link below before downloading it to your device.
COVID Alert will not replace official contact tracing efforts, but is one more tool that Thompsonites can use to limit the spread of COVID-19 in northern Manitoba.
Check out the app here.
