ABTraceTogether: Contact Tracing App In The Workplace

The Alberta government recently released its mobile contact tracing app ("ABTraceTogether") which is intended to assist with determining whether a user has been exposed to COVID-19 and with locating others who have been exposed to a user who contracts COVID-19. The app uses a smartphone's Bluetooth to keep an anonymous log of other app users with whom the infected individual has been in close contact (defined as within approximately 2 meters). If a user contracts COVID-19, that user will be asked to volunteer their log to Alberta Health Services ("AHS") for the purposes of contacting individuals who may have been in close contact with the infected user and advising them about their risks.
