Statewide, alerts from CA Notify have been sent to many smartphones letting people know if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Statewide, alerts have been sent to many smartphones letting people know if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
"We've seen a huge increase in notifications," said Dr. Chris Longhurst."In fact, our notifications tend to precede cases by four to five days." "Last winter, we saw the exposure notification tool was only notifying two to three people on average, which we expected because we were still in lockdown," said Dr. Chris Longhurst."Last summer, when we reopened the state, we saw that jump to six or seven people. This fall, particularly during the holidays, on average, every positive exposure has generated eight to ten anonymous notifications.
