Got a request from WA state to agree to exposure monitoring

It’s supposed to compile data and if there’s a good chance you’ve been exposed to Covid it’ll notify you. I’ve heard some places were implementing stuff like this. Anyone else doing this?

no notifications yet. I understand it requires a critical mass of participants to be useful.

Covid tracking project. It is called "SlowCOVIDNC." I will receive a notification if I have been exposed. So far no notifications.

That said you all of this depends on other persons having the app on their phone, and both of us are carrying it, at the place and time where you both happened to be, then, and your proximity with each other meets the, NCDHHS criteria for exposure.

That's all I know.

I rarely go out so no alerts. If I recall it wasn't an ap but a setting on the i phone that loaded on an update. You can opt out or in
