Recently for contact tracing, both Google and Apple joined together to create an API which helps contact tracing respecting individual’s Privacy. To avoid using Location we can try to implement this new Exposure Notifications API.

Sadly this app will not be eligible, as it uses location tracking in addition to Bluetooth. It also uses a central server that is the opposite of the decentralised model envisioned by Apple and Google.

It would be awesome if the app could utilize the Exposure notifications, it would allow for system-wide tracking which will be more accurate.

Yes, health apps of other countries are already utilising this new feature.
