Apple + Google are teaming up (!!) to create a cross-platform way to use phones for contact tracing.

This will be opt-in and be done over Bluetooth instead of geolocation to minimize privacy risks. They will also store limited info on users. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/apple-google-covid-app">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/j...

Note also that the infected person themselves has to report their status to the apps.

According to the BBC, Trump is expected to endorse this partnership during the press conference today.
