• The two companies have teamed up to create a COVID-19 contact tracing technology via Bluetooth on smartphones and will notify people if they've met someone with the COVID-19 with an aim of combating the COVID-19 pandemic
• The technology will work on an opt-in basis without compromising user privacy. In May- the companies are expecting to release APIs- enabling the interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities. The apps can be downloaded via their respective app stores
• In the coming months- both companies plan to create a broader contact tracing tool that won’t require users to download a third-party app. Anyone who chooses to opt-in- will share their information with government health authorities and other contact tracing apps
