Have an Android phone? Covid 19 exposure tracking, look under Settings icon, then Google settings

Need to download local/state public health contact tracing app and have bluetooth turned on.

Exposure notifications. App can tell u if you've been near someone with Covid 19

Says can turn on and off, mine has nothing functioning, but if you look it will tell your status

My phone has no apps available that are using it, yet, it would have to come from health dept that is tracking them too

But no individual data on your location would be shared, just reading through all the info, first time i even noticed it on there!
