STEP 1
Let's get started:
For Android devices, you can find the app on Google Play. Android users will also receive a notification from the Play Store.
For iPhones, opt-in to Exposure Notifications in your device settings.

STEP 2
Once you opt-in to the notification system, the Exposure Notifications System will generate a random ID for your device. To help ensure these random IDs can’t be used to identify you or your location, they change every 10-20 minutes.
 
STEP 3
Your phone and the phones around you will work in the background to exchange these privacy-preserving random IDs via Bluetooth. You do not need to have the app open for this process to take place.

STEP 4
Your phone periodically checks all the random IDs associated with positive COVID-19 cases against its own list.

STEP 5
If there’s a match, you will receive a COVID-19 exposure notification, with further instructions from DC Health on how to keep you and the people around you safe.

Google and Apple swear to us that this time they will take privacy seriously.[/quote]
