RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Usage of a smartphone app intended to notify people if they might have been exposed to the coronavirus is off to a relatively slow start in Virginia.

As of Oct. 1, just over 576,000 Virginians had downloaded the state’s COVIDWISE app since its launch eight weeks ago, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. That's about 7 percent of the state’s population, or 13 percent of the estimated number of users with a smartphone.
