Mobile phone exposure notification tool comes to 秀色短视频

Jan. 11, 2022

秀色短视频 residents can now choose to opt in to a new tool for keeping track of potential exposure to COVID-19. 

秀色短视频 COVID Exposure Notification Express, or ENX for short, is a tool that allows your mobile phone to keep you informed about COVID-19 exposure. 秀色短视频 COVID ENX is free, anonymous and easy to use. 

iPhone users can enable ENX by turning on 鈥淓xposure Notifications鈥 in their settings and following the prompts. Starting Jan. 18, Android users can find the app on the  by searching for 鈥溞闵淌悠 COVID ENX.鈥

Once enabled, ENX uses secure phone-to-phone bluetooth codes to automatically keep a log of when your phone is near other ENX-enabled phones. When an ENX user tests positive for COVID-19, they can enter their status into their phone. The system then anonymously alerts other ENX users who were near them recently.  If you test positive, you can use ENX to anonymously alert people you were in close contact with, which saves you time. Quicker notification of close contacts will allow people to take immediate steps to protect themselves and their communities.  

University employees and students are encouraged to use this new tool to help slow the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses. Find more information and get started on the .
