"We’ve always had to try and find that right balance and what we did was create an app that’s totally private, totally anonymized and totally voluntary by the user," he said.COVID Alert allows users to disclose a positive coronavirus test and alerts anyone who has come close to that person in the past 14 days via Bluetooth tracking.

"There are some adjustments [the federal government] made for Ontario that are helpful for us," she said during a press conference in late September, assuring that the province will integrate the tool with the caveat that "it can meet the needs that we have to supplement what we are doing in our contact tracing here.

BS headlines Trudeau says his government is working to improve the accuracy of its COVID Alert app.

The app can’t help it’s so inaccurate, it gets its info from the government so of course it’s fucked.

how do they know how many people have entered their positive results in the app if it is completely secure?

I hope that the includes the shortening of time positive ppl have to be around someone for it to register. 15 mins seems like a long time. If they're next to someone for 10 mins, covid doesn't care 🤪

COVID-19: Vancouver McDonald's closed due to positive COVID-19 caseOn Oct. 26, an employee at a McDonald\u0027s located at 3695 Lougheed Hwy. in Vancouver reported a positive COVID\u002D19 test result. Essential service workers and other workers are not expendable, we’re essential, and our lives matter. So it’s time to make mask mandatory and protect us all! It’s also rather sad that we have to demand this from a government that claims to be a friend to working people! Good thing it’s a private company so we got to hear about it. But are you telling me that staff at BC Liquor Stores, ICBC, BC Ferries Government Assistance Offices, Transit workers and other government agencies haven’t had cases? Or are they just not reported on the news?
