A Northern Ireland-specific contact tracing app 'StopCOVID NI' has been developed by the Department of Health.
This free app from our health service will support contact tracing, help prevent another lockdown and save lives.
It tells you automatically if you've been near another app user who tests positive. It can also let them know if you test positive.
It never knows or shares your identity or location.
The app is now available to download from your app store - the Apple App Store for iPhones and the Google Play Store for most other phones. Search 'StopCOVID NI'. You should see the app with its black and white HSC logo. Click 'Install' or 'Get'.
The app will then be installed on your phone. Open the app and follow the guidance to set it up.
