Less than four per cent of Canadians who tested positive for COVID-19 used the COVID Alert app to warn other people that they might have been exposed to the virus, according to recent data from Health Canada.

The app debuted in Ontario in July 2020 and has since been adopted across Canada except in Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and Nunavut.
