Digital contact tracing

Digital contact tracing is a way to help people figure out if they have been around someone who has an illness, like COVID-19. Imagine playing a game of hide and seek with your friends. If one of your friends is sick, the other players might not know about it. But with digital contact tracing, you can use a special tool like a phone app to keep track of who you have been around. Just like when you tag someone in a game of tag, the tool tags a person using Bluetooth or GPS technology. If someone who has been tagged gets sick, the tool will let everyone who has been around them know. This helps people who might have been exposed to the illness know to stay away from others and get tested. Like magic, digital contact tracing helps keep us all safe and healthy.
