No. COVID PreCheck is not a contact tracing app. It does not save any data related to your location or which places you have visited or who you have interacted with. When the app does ask for location permission it is for the purpose of finding doctors, test labs or other COVID PreCheck users near you.

The COVID-19 Self-assessment Test takes 30 seconds to complete and can be taken as many times as needed. We recommend taking the test at least once a day. Most businesses and employers would like to see the results of a self-assessment test completed that day. The COVID PreCheck app displays the last time you took the Self-assessment Test as part of your status.

COVID PreCheck is given by combination of a Self-assessment Test, lab test results and consultations by a  physician if appropriate. We have put several measures in place to ensure that when someone is given COVID PreCheck, that certification is authentic and secure. Physicians have to order a COVID-19 test from a qualified and FDA approved lab, interpret the results, and submit the test report as part of supporting evidence. Consumer status is stored on a secure platform and only they and their physician have access to these records. In many cases a lab test or physician consultation is not required and evidence of having taken a self-assessment test may be adequate for display as a safe status.

Yes, until the availability of a vaccine, the only way you can get immunity to COVID-19 is by surviving a COVID-19 infection. If you are asymptomatic, It is possible that you may not even know or remember that you have had an infection from COVID-19. The science and guidance on immunity is constantly evolving so please refer to CDC guidelines for more information. Current CDC guidelines suggest that if you have had a COVID-19 infection, you are unlikely to get reinfected for three months or unlikely to be infectious to others for three months since the onset of symptoms.
