As the U.S. economy reopens amid spiking Covid-19 cases and surging protests, Frame has launched a new digital tool to warn you of possible contact with the coronavirus. Called SafeTrace, the mobile contact tracer uses both Bluetooth and GPS location data to automatically keep tabs on with whom you’ve been and where you’ve been. If another SafeTrace user with who you’ve had close contact reports an infection, you receive an alert detailing the exact time and place of the potential exposure.
The SafeTrace tool will live within the Citizen app, which has more than 5 million users across 18 U.S. cities—many of which are Covid-19 hot spots.
