By enabling Bluetooth and Exposure Notifications, you can anonymously share a positive COVID-19 test result to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Users can anonymously share a positive COVID-19 test result to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Step 3: Through Bluetooth, your phone and the phones around you with the SlowCOVIDNC app are working in the background (without draining your battery or data) to exchange these anonymous tokens every few minutes.

Step 4: SlowCOVIDNC periodically downloads tokens from the server that have been uploaded from the devices of users who have tested positive.

It allows users to know if they may have been in close contact with someone who has shared a positive COVID-19 test result through the app.

SlowCOVIDNC is the official COVID-19 Exposure Notification app for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS).

You may also be notified if you have been in close contact with someone who has shared a positive COVID-19 test result.

Step 5: If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you may obtain your PIN from your local public health department and submit that into the app.

Your phone then uses its records of the signal strength and duration of exposures with those tokens to conduct a risk calculation and determine if you have met a threshold for notification.

Tokens will collect and share date, time, signal strength and duration of proximity.

This voluntary and anonymous reporting notifies others who have downloaded the app and may have been in close contact with you in the last 14 days that they might be at risk.

Step 1: Download the SlowCOVIDNC Exposure Notification app.

Step 2: After opting-in to receive notifications, the app will generate an anonymous token for your device.

Using SlowCOVIDNC is entirely voluntary, and you can enable or disable it at any time.
