Resources For COVID-19 Preparedness & Response
THREATWATCHER MOBILE - PANDEMIC ALERTS
A new feature to the Alertus Recipient App allows users to track their recent movement against those users who reported having COVID-19. The “Pandemic Alerts” feature of ThreatWatcher™ Mobile will be free and accessible to the public in response to the increasing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. You do not need to be affiliated with an Alertus customer to use ThreatWatcher Mobile.
Users who have tested positive for COVID-19 can anonymously submit their tracked movements from the previous 15 days to build a crowd-sourced database of detailed location information, such as a specific building on campus or a local movie theater, for a more accurate view of a potential interaction or exposure to the virus. The app will also help people to more easily recall where they’ve been when a new case is reported.
This feature is available now to Android Users from the Google Play Store! Apple has implemented new guidelines in response to COVID-19, which has delayed the release of the update for iPhone users.
