Covid-19 Cell Phone App 12-08-20 17:24 S.S.
A new cell phone app was unveiled yesterday that could help limit the spread of Covid-19. CA Notify can send notifications to cell phones that those phones have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for the virus. Californians with Android cell phones can download the Ca Notify app from the Google Play Store, allow notifications through the app, and make sure their phone’s Blue Tooth is on......while iPhone users can sign up for the notifications through their phone’s Settings, without having to download an app. The tool doesn’t track people’s identities, or locations, but uses Bluetooth wireless signals to detect when 2 phones are within 6 feet of each other for at least 15 minutes.
