About the application:

COVIDWISE is the official COVID-19 exposure notification apk for the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Health (VDH). The apk was developed in partnership with SpringML using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) API framework made through a special collaboration between Apple and Google. Your private use of COVIDWISE will significantly assist inform Virginians suspected of having been within close proximity to someone with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. When you download COVIDWISE, you are doing your part to efficiently and effectively assist your community stay ahead of any potential resurgent trends in cases. This is vitally necessary as the business sector, healthcare industry, K-12 schools, institutions of higher education, religious organizations, sporting/recreation activities, and others rely on appropriate interventions to ensure the health of our communities and maintain economic viability. How COVIDWISE Works: If someone reports to the apk that they inspected positive, the signals from their apk will find for another apk players who shared that signal. The BLE signals are date-stamped and the apk estimates how close the two devices were based on signal strength. If the timeframe was at least 15 mins and the estimated distance was within six feet, then the another player receives a notification of a possible exposure. No names! No place! The BLE framework within COVIDWISE will run in the background, even if the exposure notification apk is closed. It will not drain the device battery at a rate that would occur with another apks that use normal Bluetooth and/or are begin and running constantly. How COVIDWISE Protects Your Privacy: VDH takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. This is why we chose to use the Apple and Google BLE framework. No private data or place tracking occurs within this apk. In fact, there is no need for VDH to know where or who you are for COVIDWISE to work. If you are close enough to other apk player, the BLE technology will share signals with that player. Laboratory results for all persons who try positive for COVID-19 are sent to VDH. This is not associated with the apk. Our staff follows up with persons reported as positive, based on info provided within the laboratory report. As a courtesy to all apk players, VDH will verify positive tests and then provide COVIDWISE players a private identifying number (PIN). You must use that PIN in order to report a positive effect to the apk. This prevents people from falsely reporting positive results, which should generate false exposure notifications. VDH wants all apk players to feel confident that when a possible COVID-19 exposure is received via the apk, that it is a true happening. If you have the current Apple or Google operating system installed on your device, you may have noticed that Exposure Notifications are now included. You cannot enable this function until you have downloaded Virginia’s COVIDWISE apk. Apple and Google will delete the exposure notification service programs from their respective operating systems once the pandemic reaches a point that public health no longer requires the use of this technology. Thank you for downloading COVIDWISE! Together, we can protect our family, mates, neighbors, and colleagues, and hold Virginia moving forward!
