About the application:

MD COVID Alert is the official COVID-19 exposure-notifications tool for the Maryland Department of Health. The apk is an instance of Exposure Notifications Express platform developed by Apple and Google and configured by Maryland. Your private use of MD COVID Alert will assist anonymously alert Maryland residents who may have been near someone with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. When you enable MD COVID Alert, you are doing your part to efficiently and effectively assist your community slow the spread of COVID-19. How MD COVID Alert works: When devices with MD COVID Alert are in close contact, they exchange random identifiers using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). When someone tells their apk that they inspected positive for COVID-19, whoever received their random identifiers may keep an alert that they may have possibly been exposed to COVID-19. When a device receives random identifiers it date-stamps them and records their signal strength so that the Exposure Notification system can estimate how close the two devices were to each another and for how long. 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. Apple and Google's Exposure Notifications framework runs in the background, even when the MD COVID Alert 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 MD COVID Alert Protects Your Privacy: Maryland takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Apple and Google's framework is designed to avoid correlating any private data and place info with the random identifiers that devices exchange. Maryland Department of Health does not wish or need to know where or who you are for MD COVID Alert to work. If you are close enough to other apk player, your device's BLE will exchange random identifiers with that user. Laboratory results for all persons who try positive for COVID-19 are sent to Maryland Department of Health. 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, MD COVID ALert will verify positive tests and then provide MD COVID Alert players with 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. Maryland Department of Health wants all apk players to feel confident that when a possible COVID-19 exposure is received via the apk, that it is a true event. 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 installed the MD COVID Alert 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 installing MD COVID Alert! Together, we can protect our family, mates, neighbors, and colleagues, and hold Maryland moving forward!
