The NHS COVID-19 app has launched nationally and is available to everyone aged 16 and over in England and Wales.
The app will help the NHS understand where and how quickly the virus is spreading, so it can respond effectively.
If the app identifies a user has been in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus, the user will:
- receive an exposure alert with advice on what to do
- be advised to self isolate
The app will not hold any personal information. It cannot track a userâs location. It cannot be used to access a userâs identity or any other information on userâs phone.
All users can delete the NHS COVID-19 app at any time. This will also delete all data stored on app
You should use the app when entering most council buildings, including including leisure centres, libraries, museums, town halls, crematoriums and at Dudley Council House.
