Public health authorities won’t need to make their own apps in order to use Apple and Google’s exposure notification tool.

The Apple-Google exposure notification tool is getting a major upgrade. The two companies just announced the debut of Exposure Notifications Express, which will enable their exposure notification tool to work without a public health agency needing to build or maintain an app around it.
