The COVID-19 exposure alerts system, which notified you when you had been in contact with someone that tested positive, has now been shut down in the majority of U.S. states.
Effective May 11th, 2023, COVID-19 was no longer considered a Public Health Emergency in the U.S. As a result, the COVID-19 Exposure Notifications System responsible for letting you know when you have most likely been in contact with someone who has tested positive, is being shut down in the majority of states.
This was possible largely thanks to the efforts of Apple and Google in the early days of the pandemic, both of which raced to develop a unified approach to exposure notifications. It was initially unveiled in April 2020, but it wasn't until September of that same year that the feature was fully integrated into numerous Android and iOS devices through OS updates.
Thanks to the utilization of the ENS, though, the expertise and know-how acquired will pave the way for a more efficient and effective public health system in the future. There is no longer a need to start from square one, since a solid foundation has already been established. To that, APHL Program Manager of National Server Operations, Emma Sudduth added:
