Ensure those who have been in close proximity to you get the earliest possible exposure notifications with Health Canada’s COVID Alert application.  During the week of November 24-30, 82 residents entered the one-time key information into the COVID Alert App, following their positive test results.

This free, voluntary app provides digital alerts to let people know if they may have been exposed to COVID-19.  The more residents that participate in the COVID Alert app, the faster residents can know if they are at risk of COVID-19 exposure.

COVID Alert is available for Canadians as a free download from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

COVID Alert does not collect personal health information or track the location of users.  More information on using the app and how your privacy is protected at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-apps.
