Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Virginia's COVIDWISE app is going dark on Thursday, the day the National Public Health Emergency ends. The Department of Health's Jeff Stover says the national server the app relies on is also going dark, making it the app less useful to keep going.

COVIDWISE was launched in August 2020. Stover says over three million people used it in some way or form. He also estimates over 300,000 notifications went out through the app.
