Last month, we covered plans by Apple and Google to <a href="https://4cast.oplin.org/?p=8047">build contact-tracing capabilities into phones</a>. These new <a href="https://fortune.com/2020/05/20/apple-google-covid-19-tracing-tool/">exposure-notification tools</a> were released last Wednesday, allowing for regional health authorities to develop and release apps that will assist them in combating the spread of the COVID-19. The debate rages on to seek a balance between effectively slowing the pandemic and protecting citizen privacy.
