COVID Alert app - Jersey's coronavirus contact tracing app

An extra tool to help fight the pandemic

The Jersey COVID Alert is a free app for your mobile phone. The app uses Bluetooth to alert you if you've been near another app user who has recently discovered they have COVID-19.

Using the Jersey COVID Alert app will help to contain coronavirus outbreaks by interrupting the chain of transmission. The app is designed to support existing public health measures and will help us to protect each other by slowing the spread of COVID-19.

Exposure Alerts to protect you and others

The app will alert you if it detects that you have been near another app user who has recently discovered they have COVID-19 and that they may have put you at risk. You can then take action to avoid infecting other people. You can also get help sooner, reducing the chance of serious complications.

If it's you that's diagnosed with COVID-19, you'll be able to anonymously alert the people that you've recently been near to, so they can take action to protect themselves and their families and friends.
