Contact tracing

When you have contact tracing switched on, your app will use Bluetooth to know when it has come into close contact with other nearby app users. ‘Close contact’ is generally 2 metres for 15 minutes or more. If any of those nearby app users later test positive for coronavirus, you will receive an alert with advice to self-isolate and book a test. The alerts are based on a ‘risk-scoring algorithm’ developed by scientific experts. 

TracAPM Contact tracing module is ready with APM forces nationwide, ready for next level of protection when the government requires.

Venue check-in

When you check into venues using the app and official government QR code posters, this data is held on your phone. 

If it’s identified that people who were there on the same day have since tested positive for coronavirus, you may get an alert advising you to get a test The venue check-in feature works independently of the contact tracing feature. If you get a venue alert it will not tell you to self-isolate.
