Digital contact tracing for COVID-19

KEY POINTS The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exceeded the capacity of many public health agencies to undertake traditional contact tracing. To address the limitations of traditional contact tracing, numerous governments — including those of Alberta in
