10.01.2022 COVIDSafe app now available at www.covidsafe.gov.au Territorians have done a great job so far and now it’s time to begin the transition to our new normal. The app is voluntary to download, but the more Territorians that use the app the more effective it will be. The app uses Bluetooth to determine when you’re near another COVIDSafe app user. Territory health officials can then trace back and communicate with you if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested po...sitive for the virus.
