Apple and Google are making their COVID-19 exposure tech available to public health agencies, which means you'll soon have access to contact tracing apps

Apple and Google are rolling out their exposure notification API so that public health agencies can start including the technology in their apps.It's the first major phase of the technology. Apple and Google have spent weeks finessing the privacy elements of the app, as well as improving the level of control for public health agencies.

The software will use Bluetooth to detect other smartphones in close proximity and alert the user – assuming they have a relevant health app installed – if they come into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Spokespeople for Google and Apple said that in most cases the API will only be available to one app per country, but said exceptions could be made. However, this does not appear to be the case for the US, where individual states are creating their own apps.
