Anatomy of a State COVID Contact Tracing Pilot Program

The state: Massachusetts

What type of tech does Massachusetts want to use? Bluetooth based tracking such as those developed by Apple & Google

Would MA continue with contact tracers too? Yes, an app would only bolster their efforts

Nevada has a similar program with a self reporting app based on bluetooth. How is the app going?

  • App downloaded under 70,000 times
    • Less than 3% of the state’s adult population
