An App a Day Keeps the COVID Away - Morning Brew says "There's an app for that"
If you’re tired of WebMD giving you the runaround,
Apple yesterday launched a website and app
dedicated to COVID-19 screening in collaboration with FEMA, the CDC, and the
White House.
It’s no substitute for a cotton swab up your nose,
but Apple’s new program quizzes you on your symptoms and recent travel to let
you know when (or if) you should seek medical care or COVID-19 testing. It
can’t guarantee you’ll get one of the high-demand, low-supply tests,
though—only an NBA contract can do that.
Apple’s app joins a growing list of tech products
aimed at informing you about the coronavirus.
Big picture: The tech community has
mobilized in a big way during this crisis. Apple is also donating 10 million
face masks across the U.S. and Europe.
