As restrictions are removed and NI citizens start to return to a more normal way of living it is important to remember that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is still in circulation.
One of the tools that people can use to help protect themselves and others is to activate the ‘STOPCovid NI’ proximity app.
The app has now been updated to support iOS 12.5 which means that people with an iphone 5s and 6 can now download the App to their devices.
The App has been designed to assist in stopping the spread of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland, by anonymously contacting people who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
It will help contact people you don’t know, that would not be warned by the manual contact tracing process, that they might be infected.
