Northern Ireland’s Health service has launched this mobile phone App to help ‘contact tracing’
of people potentially infected by the virus. It is a major aid in the battle to control the spread and stop a return to lockdown.
If you are in close contact with an app user who has added a positive COVID-19 test result to their app, this app will notify you. You won’t know who, when or where.
The app will never reveal your identity or location.
