Across the country soaring COVID-19 cases have forced many public officials to give up on contact tracing. Instead, Canadians are being asked to warn people they’ve been in contact with to isolate and monitor for symptoms. But there’s another tool available: the federal government’s COVID Alert app.
But the app never seemed to find its footing as part of the anti-COVID-19 arsenal Canadians were prepared to adopt. Though more than 6.7 million of the 30 million smartphones in Canada have the app installed, new data obtained by Global News shows that its use has declined significantly through 2021.
David Akin reports.
