Apple has updated Siri, its virtual digital assistant, to screen for the COVID19 virus.
To use the new feature, just ask Siri, "Do I have the Corona Virus?"
Siri will then ask a series of Yes/No screening questions developed based on CDC criteria.
Users who answer "yes" to these questions, like those referencing COVID-19 symptoms, are advised to self-isolate, monitor the situation, or contact a medical provider if the condition worsens, are age 65 or over, or have a serious medical condition.
Siri can be found on Apple's iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems and devices.
