It's not in the Health app. Go into Settings and search for COVID and you'll find it, it's under Privacy > Health However, turning this on in itself does nothing, You would also need an app promoted by your government which actually stores data about where you have been and with whom else you came into close contact who also has this technology. Theoretically if a person tests positive for COVID-19 and has the app, authorities an then check that person's app to see with whom they have come into contact with and these people can then be notified and potentially will be required to self-isolate for 14 days to make sure they did not get infected. The issue with all of this is that you ideally need a single app for all of Canada or at least for your province and that at least 60% to 80% of all people would have to use said app for it to be really effective. This is very new technology, it's not at all proven how effective this could be and nobody in a country like Canada, the US or most European countries would put up with being forced to use it. I think you are also in Canada and, in particular, in British Columbia, aren't you? If so I wouldn't be too worried anyways, we are extremely lucky to be in a province which did a lot of stuff right. Currently there are only just over 300 people of the just under 2,500 who tested positive who have not yet recovered and given our population of 5 Million that is not so bad and with basic common sense, physical distancing and hand hygiene chance for you to pick up COVID-19 are pretty small.

Hi all. I looked in the health app but found nothing about Covid 19. Where do I find this setting? Thanks.
