The Big App Download Weekend

The new NHS Covid-19 app has launched and the public is being urged to download the app in a bid to fight the virus and keep each other safe.

The Big App Download Weekend

 

This weekend marks The Big App Download Weekend: where people from England and Wales can download the app, which has been designed to "help protect loved ones and stop the spread of coronavirus"

The app lets users know anonymously if they have been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, so they can take the right action.

It is free and available to download for over 16s in England and Wales.

The app shows the risk level in any local area – based on the postcode district entered when it is downloaded.

A built-in QR code scanner will allow users to check in at venues in case an outbreak is linked to them.

People with symptoms can check them with the app to see if they match those of coronavirus based on the latest government guidance.

The app will then redirect users to book a test online.

Any positive results can be logged in the app, which will send anonymous notifications to any app user the person who has tested positive has been in recent close contact with.

It uses Apple and Google’s built-in Bluetooth technology, designed so that nobody will know who or where users are.

Download it today from:
