CARE 19

[Artemis Windsong]

Does you state have CARE 19?

Does your cell phone have CARE 19 for virus contact tracking and contact testing?  The cell phone owner has to opt in.

These apps work best in lower populated areas.

The way I understand this you allow your cell phone to track you for contacts.  If one of those contacts gets tested then a notice is sent.  If the contact ends up negative, it reports back.  If the contact is positive, then the state health department contacts for testing.

What got my interest is our state was quoted $4,000 then the bill was $40,000.  I did not have a link to this information.

Wyoming, N Dakota, S Dakota?

No, not in my state apparently.

CARE19 is an app that was developed for use in the three states listed in Reply 1. It would have to be downloaded by an individual for it to be on a device. My Android phone that lives in Washington State does have COVID-19 Exposure Notifications that somehow magically appeared. It indicates it is "off". "Care19 Alert app uses the Bluetooth proximity technology provided jointly by Apple and Google Exposure Notification Systems ..."  link I can not find that my state has an app to use with the notification system. If it does, I will utilize it.

So far, places visited is not working.

I tried to input one place. I put in the name then touched the time. The date came up and shortly said Care 19 has timed out.

My friend has to input her places visited.

Sooo, not working correctly!
