If you are planning to travel, remember to check current travel restrictions for England, travel restrictions for Wales, and for the country you are visiting.
The NHS COVID-19 app is the official contact tracing app for England and Wales. Read more about what the NHS COVID-19 app does.
If you travel to Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey or Gibraltar, the NHS COVID-19 app will still send you an alert if it detects that you have been in ‘close contact’ with another app user who has tested positive on a PCR test, regardless of whether they are using the NHS COVID-19 app or the Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey or Gibraltar app.
If you develop coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms while you're outside of England or Wales, you should follow the local guidance of the country you are visiting.
