Apple, Google To Ban Location Tracking In COVID-19 Tracing Apps

Apple and Google have released details about their joint Exposure Notification API, designed to alert users if they've been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. The API, available for iOS and Android, uses Bluetooth to collect data every 10-15 minutes, avoiding GPS to protect privacy. Concerns have been raised about potential privacy issues and false diagnoses. The software will be limited to one official app per country, with US local governments deciding its use.
