Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello has said the function, which alerts people if they have been to a COVID-19 exposure site
A Service NSW spokesperson said COVID-19 case alerts made it easy for customers to identify if they had attended a venue on the same day as a positive COVID-19 case. “It’s great we finally got here [with case alerts] but this could have been implemented a year ago and with better privacy controls about how data is stored, which has been done well in New Zealand and the UK.”
“Come December 1, we aim to accompany these alerts with push notifications through the Service NSW app.”
