* Government of Canada COVID Alert App uses the Apple-Google Exposure Notifications framework to allow Bluetooth to estimate distance from other phones. The framework is available only on the following operating systems:

Apple iOS 13.5 or later versions

** COVID Alert uses Bluetooth to estimate how close people are by measuring the strength of the signal. It is designed to ignore encounters with phones that are further than 2 metres away or in different rooms or units. However, Bluetooth technology is not perfect. Its signals can be affected by things like metals, microwave ovens, other people, crowded spaces like public transit, etc.
