COVIDSafe App – helping to keep you and your family safe

Peter Gutwein,Premier

Together, by staying home, Tasmanians are saving lives.

Now, the Federal Government’s new COVIDSafe App will assist in helping keep you and your family to stay safe when you are away from your home.

Our manual tracing efforts over past weeks have worked very well, particularly in fighting the North-West outbreak, but we need your help to improve our tracing capacity even more.

The COVIDSafe App will allow anyone who has been exposed to be quickly tested and if necessary treated, and for the spread of the virus to be closed down swiftly.

It’s an important tool to help keep you, your family and your friends safe against the coronavirus.

Importantly, COVIDSafe doesn’t monitor your geographic movements, unlike many popular apps already on your phone, which access its GPS locator. Your privacy is also protected by law.
