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.
