The app and website also provide access to official resources to help people stay up to date and get reliable information. Users will receive answers to frequently asked questions about COVID-19, including who is at greatest risk and how to recognize the symptoms. In addition, they learn the latest information from the Centers for Disease Control, such as recommendations on handwashing, surface disinfection, and symptom monitoring.
Along with the new application and COVID-19 website, customers throughout the United States may also ask Siri, “How do I know if I have a coronavirus?” After that, a personal assistant will offer you to answer “yes” or “no” to several questions that will help determine your condition.
