Apple/Google Exposure Notifications

Apple and Google Exposure Notifications are privacy-focused systems designed to help track and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Using Bluetooth technology, smartphones exchange anonymous, temporary codes with nearby devices. If someone tests positive, health authorities can notify users who were in close contact without revealing identities. The system emphasizes privacy by not collecting location data or personal details, and users can choose whether to participate. It helps quickly identify potential exposures, encouraging early testing and self-isolation to reduce transmission risk.
