The Canadian Digital Service teams up with federal departments and agencies to put people’s needs at the centre of government services. And today we will go behind-the-scenes and learn the details on how Covid Alert was created. Emily Kuret (the CDS Product Manager) and Josh Ruihley (the Senior Technical Advisor) join us and share details about its development. Everything from the "pre-green-light" internal testing to why the CDS chose to re-create a more modern version of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet to help front line workers share the one-time-key to Canadians.
