What the HSE’s Contact Tracing App is

The HSE released it’s Covid Contact Tracing App, Covid Tracker on the 7th of July 2020. It can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. It works by:

  • Recording if you’re is in close contact with someone else who is using the tracker by exchanging anonymous codes that are held on the your phone
  • If one of you tests positive for COVID-19, the system will then be able to alert all  the people they have been recorded as being in close contact with.
  • It will be used as a tool for contact tracing, symptom tracking and for spreading alerts and information about COVID-19

Click on the video below to find out more or click here to go to the App’s website where you can download it from.
