Does SQL Azure provide handle automatic failover when geo-replicated?

We have a geo-replicated database in SQL Azure (Premium) and are wondering if we are pointing to the South Central US database that is the master, if that goes down do we have to manually change our connection strings in our code (C# .Net / Entity Framework 6) to point to the new database in say North US? We are looking for a way to have a single connection string and then Azure do the under the covers to now point to the new database if the master ever goes down. Is that possible?

Thanks!
