coronavirus exposure notification app launched and since then, COVID Alert has been downloaded roughly 2.2 million times.Over the last four weeks, roughly 80 to 100 people have been testing positive each day in Ontario for COVID-19.
But just 90 have logged their diagnosis with the app since it launched, and it’s not possible to tell how many people have been notified of exposure because the app does not collect that information.“Due to the strong privacy and security measures built into the app, this data is not available,” said Natalie Mohamed, a spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada.However, Ontario — the only province where the app is currently available — has reported more than 100 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in 10.
