Health Minister Robin Swann has revealed that he will be self-isolating for 14 days.
Minster Swann received a close proximity notification from the StopCovid NI app this evening.
In a statement, The Executive said he will be fulfilling his ministerial responsibilities from home.
The Health Minister has no symptoms and will only require a test if he develops one of the symptoms of the virus.
An exposure notification from the app means the user has been close to another user who has tested positive.
Self-isolation is required for 14 days when a notification is given.
The App assists in stopping the spread of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland, by contacting people who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
Minister Swann is urging the public to download the app to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
In a tweet, Minister Swann said: "We are all in this together.
"Earlier this evening I received a close proximity notification via our StopCOVID NI App, so I will be working from self isolation for the next 14 days.
"Download #StopCovidNI, help break the infection chain..."
