Track your movements with the new NHS COVID-19 App

The new NHS Covid-19 has been implemented in England. The app works in conjunction with the Test and Trace to help the NHS understand which areas are hotspots. The App is useful in terms of helping users know when they are at risk of contracting the virus.

The app notifies the owner on the following: 

• Contact tracing alerts -  The app sends out a notification based on your surroundings and who may be infected with Covid-19. 

• Postcode alerts - This alert sends out a notification when there’s a risk of infections in your area. This will help you to be extra cautious when you are out on your daily routine.

• Exposure alerts - The app allows users to check-in at venues and will keep a record of who was in the vicinity at that specific time.  Should anyone test positive for Covid-19 at a later stage the app will send out an alert to notify the user to get tested.
