About the app
COVID Alert PA is a free mobile app created by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, along with Google and Apple, to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. The app will notify you if you’ve been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
In addition, the app offers the following features:
- Interactive COVID-19 symptom checker
- Updates on the latest public health data about COVID-19 in PA
- Advice for what to do if you have a potential exposure to COVID-19
How it works
Using Bluetooth technology, the app will send you a notification if you have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Is it secure?
Yes; the app does not collect any personal information—it strictly is an exposure notification tool.
Why the app?
The more Pennsylvanians who download the app, the more effective it will be at stopping the spread of the virus. In our continued efforts to protect our patients, employees and community from the spread of COVID-19, Mount Nittany Health encourages any and all individuals to use this app.
