On Thursday, Californians will be able to turn on a new tool that alerts them if they are later exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19.

The CA Notify app is available for Apple and Android smartphones. On Apple iPhone, you can turn on exposure notification in your phone settings. On Android smartphones, you can download the CA Notify app from the Google Play store.

This technology was tested at the University of California, San Diego earlier this year. The purpose is to personally and anonymously warn people if they have been in close contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes. Use Bluetooth technology to ping nearby app users. If the person using the app tests positive for the coronavirus, you can tell fellow app users who have come into contact with the app that you have been exposed to COVID-19.
