California is ending its COVID emergency this month; the US plans to do so in May 2023. This repo is no longer relevant and is being archived.
This site is a crowdsourced list of projects related to COVID-19 contact tracing using smartphones. The goal of contact tracing is to identify the contacts of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and to advise them to self-quarantine. Large scale, highly accurate contact tracing could control the spread of epidemics and reduce the need for societal lockdowns.
