Protect Scotland 1.2.4 APK Download from NHS Education for Scotland

Help Scotland keep coronavirus control by downloading and using the free Protect Scotland app from NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect.

The use of the application is completely voluntary. When using the application, you will be notified if you have been in close contact with another user of the application who tested positive for coronavirus. If the result is positive and you enter the unique code sent to you in the application, it will anonymously alert other application users with whom you have had close contact.

Using Bluetooth, the app will look for other devices with the Protect Scotland app installed, which are 2 meters away from your phone. You do not need a WiFi connection. The application uses a very small amount of your mobile phone data.

Once you download the app, encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same. The more people who download and use the Protect Scotland app, the more likely we are to stay in control of the coronavirus. Ε The benefits of using the application are:

Accelerates the process of identifying and alerting people at risk of coronavirus infection, especially through unknown contacts
Slows down the spread of the virus
Reduces the likelihood of further exclusions
Helps protect your health care, family and friends, yourself and the people of Scotland

Finally, you can help stop the coronavirus from spreading to Scotland by downloading and using the Protect Scotland app.
