Gov. Newsom Announces Launch Of CA Notify

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced the statewide launch of CA Notify, a new digital tool that will help reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Starting Dec. 10, Californians can opt in to receive COVID-19 notifications informing them if they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus. CA Notify is a digital tool that protects privacy and security – it does not collect device location to detect exposure and does not share a user’s identity. The tool was developed in partnership with Google and Apple and piloted with the help of the University California, San Diego and the University of California, San Francisco.

Starting Dec. 10, Californians can enable CA Notify in their iPhone settings or on Android phones by downloading the CA notify app from the Google Play Store.
