The COVID-19 app is developed in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the White House, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The COVID-19 app has up-to-date information from trusted sources about the coronavirus disease that is impacting people across the world. It has a screening tool so you can find out what you should do now for yourself or for a loved one. And it gives you access to resources you may need to stay informed. The COVID-19 app is developed in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the White House, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). • Use the simple screening tool to determine what you should do if you are concerned about COVID-19. Answer a few questions about symptoms and contact you’ve had with those who might have the disease. And then get a specific, recommended action based on the CDC’s current guidelines, such as practice physical distancing or talk to a doctor. • Save previous screening results for you or for a loved one to refer to at a later date or in conversations with a healthcare provider. • Learn best practices for washing your hands, practicing social distancing, quarantining, monitoring your symptoms, and disinfecting surfaces. • Know that data you provide in the COVID-19 app will not be shared with Apple, the CDC, or anyone without your permission. Data entered will be stored and encrypted on device with a passcode. This app was developed in partnership with CDC. It is not meant as an endorsement of any Apple products. To enable Exposure Notifications, go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

I actually have a very responsable request to Apple developers or who ever is responsible for this app. I truly feel this platform can also served as a great tool if we all agree to self report if positive or negative and make that available within a 5 miles radio of my location (exact location doesn't need to be shared) My self and 50 more people (family and friends) believe that if we can have a platform where we can informed our neighbors that I have self reported positive for coronavirus or that am under quarantine due to symptoms it will allowed my neighbors to prepare better and act more responsible in my community. It will not create panic if used accordingly and with discipline. Please if this is something that as a tech company you can provide it would really mean a lot to me and my family. But am sure the same feeling will be for others when they see the results.

Giving this app a 1 star is not helping the app improve if it’s all about ranting about how quick the app looks. Due keep in mind that Apple is a trillion dollar company & is working with the CDC & Gov’t for the most accurate & precise answers with the right questions, not only that Apple will always be updating this app has the crisis is global. If you really want this app to be the best for you then go work for Apple & fix the app yourself since all you will do is complain about it. Sarcasm & ridiculous reviews is not actionable with Apple. Just state what needs to be done & that’s that. Lastly don’t make a review about this review. My experience with the app is excellent with its simplicity of questions and answers for the symptoms of the virus. Needless to say that the more information about this virus, the better everyone will able to prevent & protect against it. Thank you, Apple, for this app.

Also needs to stress the stay-at-home orders which are now law in many states and counties. This illness can be transmitted to many others (who will also transmit to many others) before people have any idea they are sick. Local governments are giving out wildly different guidelines but everyone does need to Stay At Home to keep our healthcare workers alive. Maybe more info about how many hospitals are already almost out of protective gear and the people supposed to help us are getting sick, even dying. Thank you, Apple. Stay safe everyone.
