The COVID Alert app relies on exposure notification API, created by Google and Apple, that uses Bluetooth to communicate anonymous codes between smartphones with the app installed.

So, if someone gets back a positive test, they’ll upload that data in their app, then send an anonymous, non-identifiable code to other smartphones with the app installed; therefore, alerting users in the area that they’ve been exposed to someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.
