Patch Lady – 13.7 adds covid notifications

Posted on September 2, 2020 at 17:41 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

The Apple 13.7 iOS update adds Covid-19 contract tracing BUT only if your location and health department has enabled it. I know Virginia has one already enabled. So does Australia. I’ve read that North Dakota, Wyoming, Alabama, Nevada and Arizona either have it now or will soon. Where I live in California it’s not enabled at this time (or at least not in my County).

So what do you think of bluetooth enabled contact tracing?

Just a kind reminder, remember that IF you get any sort of communication about Covid-19 tracking they WILL NOT ask for a credit card number or any other personal identity questions that would lead to identity theft.
