Coronavirus: Apple and Google team up to contact trace Covid-19
Apple and Google are jointly developing technology to alert people if they have recently come into contact with others found to be infected with coronavirus.
They hope to initially help third-party contact-tracing apps run efficiently.
But ultimately, they aim to do away with the need to download dedicated apps, to encourage the practice.
The two companies believe their approach - designed to keep users, whose participation would be voluntary, anonymous - addresses privacy concerns.
