Here is a <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/contact-tracing.html">link</a> to an article further describing contact tracing for COVID-19. Manual contact tracing done by public health officials is a slow and inefficient process. People are working on digital contact tracing using Bluetooth low energy for it to one day replace manual contact tracing. Cell phones and other portable devices can transmit Bluetooth low energy signals that can be picked up by others around them, leading to it being a very popular topic of research.</p> ER -
