COVID App Warns of Possible Exposure

A new statewide app alerts you if you were within six feet of a person who tested positive. The app is called “COVID Alert NY”and can be downloaded from the APP Store, and this is how it works. Once a person tests positive, they are given a code by the Health Department to punch into the app, providing an anonymous alert to other devices that have been within six feet of the person’s own smartphone for over ten minutes. To activate, go to the Linux Foundation and get the code.
