The pandemic is further exposing gaping inequities in our society.

COVID Alert App
- The COVID Alert app uses Bluetooth technology to users if they’ve been within six feet of someone who has COVID-19 for more than 10 minutes. Downloading and using COVID Alert is one of the most effective actions we can take to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in the tri-state region.
