On Monday, Governor Lamont announced an important partnership between the state and the non-profit group How We Feel to provide the medical community with critical health information needed to understand the spread of COVID-19.
Through the How We Feel app or online, users anonymously self-report basic health information once a day. The data is provided to leading medical institutions so they can better spot emerging outbreaks, identify at-risk populations, and determine the efficacy of public health measures such as social distancing.
The app is available for free in the Apple App Store, Google Play store and online at howwefeel.app. No login or personal information such as name or email address is required.
Getting this data to the medical community as quickly as possible enables them to make faster decisions to help slow the virus and save lives. It also will help guide our decision-makers as we look to get the state back to work.
For this to work, we need a high participation rate across the state. I encourage you to participate and share this information with your network.
Sincerely,
David Lehman, Commissioner
(860) 500-2310
