The COVID Alert app relies on Google and Apple’s exposure notification API that utilizes Bluetooth to communicate anonymous codes between smartphones with the app installed.
This means that if someone gets a positive test, they’ll upload that data in their app, then send an anonymous, non-identifiable code to other smartphones with the app installed. Users in the area will then be notified if they’ve exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
