Canadian Fabbers: Canada COVID-19 app

kerry

Hi all,

Canadian fabbers, the federal government launched this app a while ago but recently added a symptom tracker. It’s for healthy people too. If enough of us do the daily check in, we can help stop the spread. I can’t think of an easier way for gov’t to collect this mass data. Please consider and share.

National COVID-19 Volunteer Recruitment Campaign.

Feds are also looking for volunteers for:

1. Case tracking and contact tracing;

2. Health system surge capacity;
3. Case data collection and reporting.

Thanks, Kerry!

My province also has one, which is useful.

Hi Suz, just looked for the BC version to send to a friend in Victoria but could only find the app with the self-assessment. Can you provide a link? Thanks!

I think it's the same App, but a different page (if that makes sense.) It's called BC COVID-19. https://bc.thrive.health

When you get the app it asks your status every time you open it. Then there is a home page and it gives you options -- Self check, Review BCCDC recommendations, definitions of physical distancing, hand washing review, information for higher risk people, more info. There's also a Stats page, an Updates page (with recent news), Resources, and self check.

But you kind of have to pass the barrier before you get to that (confirming you have not recently travelled.)

Thanks Suz. Exact same set up as the federal one ... except it doesn’t seem to have the symptom tracker ... just the self-assessment. Which reminds me to go do my daily check-in!

After my daily check-in it lets me know my information will be used anonymously to coordinate Canada’s response to COVID-19.
