MacRumors:

Canada today released a new COVID-19 contact tracing app called COVID Alert, as noted by iPhone in Canada. COVID Alert takes advantage of Apple and Google’s privacy-focused Exposure Notification API to alert people when they’ve come into contact with someone who has the coronavirus.

If someone with COVID Alert tests positive for the virus, they can opt to enter that information into the app, and each person they’ve been in contact with will then receive an alert. COVID Alert collects no location information or personally identifiable data, and was built by Health Canada with the Canadian Digital Service.

Contrary to this story, the app has been available for a week – I’ve been using it each day to report in. Does anyone else use this version or similar apps in their country?
