BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Bowling Green State University leaders are working to help slow the spread of COVID-19 with a new app for your smartphone.
Students, faculty and staff who have the "Campus Clear" app will receive daily reminders and answer a few wellness questions before heading to campus or leaving dorms.
"It honestly gives us big picture data so, it doesn't individually identify any person. So, I can't see what one person is answering today, but I can see how many people are answering particular types of symptoms, that they've maybe been potentially exposed to somebody or that they have a fever today," BGSU's Chief Health Officer Ben Batey said.
BGSU leaders said the app will tell you if you are good to go on campus or if you should see a medical provider.
It is voluntary, but as of right now, a couple of thousand people are using the app on campus.
