About the App

When a user registers for the app, they will be asked for the first half of their postcode (known as their postcode district). This will then inform them about restriction in place where they live.

The NHS COVID-19 app supports the national test and trace effort by:

  • supporting traditional test and trace methods
  • informing the public of rising rates in their postcode area
  • alerting them if they’ve been in contact with someone who has tested positive (even if they don’t know them)
  • providing a ‘checking in’ function based on QR codes displayed in venues and public spaces
  • allowing people to check their symptoms, and book a test if they need one

In England, alert level is based on the Local Authority Watch-list, determined each week by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. It draws on advice from the Chief Medical Officer for England, NHS Test and Trace, the Joint Biosecurity Centre and Public Health England. Users will be notified if and when their local alert level changes.
