More than 200,000 people have already signed up for Washington’s COVID-19 notification phone app, Gov. Jay Inslee said Monday as he implored residents to sign up for it.

And in a news conference, Inslee said that if enough Washingtonians are comfortable signing up for it, the app could save a measurable number of people from getting infected or dying of the new coronavirus.

“This is a pretty sweet deal for folks,” said the governor, who described the app as “free, private, easy to use and effective and can actually save lives.”
