I think grouping and checking people on the basis of there geolocation is better as first of all people may not turn on the bluetooth for every minute of the day but geolocation would be there everytime. This is a suggestion from my side please look into the API might be useful.

@kathan3009 This is contract tracing app, to see if phone A has come into proximity of phone B. Proximity is confirmed by using mobile phone as center and whether two Bluetooth ranges intersect. Further turning Bluetooth On, is like user opt-in to track his contacts he meet(obviously through deviceids) ... Tracking through GPS is a privacy risk, but I believe that is already happening at Mobile providers end.
