RALEIGH, N.C. (September 22, 2020) - Wake Tech is pleased to partner with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Service (NCDHHS) in announcing a new tool to help us slow the spread of COVID-19 – SlowCOVIDNC. This is the official statewide Exposure Notification app.

It provides a way for app users to protect their privacy and identity, while also slowing the spread of COVID-19, SlowCOVIDNC does not collect or share personally identifying or location information.
