P.S. I just noticed this list of contact-tracing apps: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=Projects_using_personal_data_to_combat_SARS-CoV-2 And also this crowd-sourced list on github: https://github.com/shankari/covid-19-tracing-projects One of the projects mentioned is this one at Stanford: https://www.covid-watch.org/ which says it is open source, but I have not been able to find their code on github, and have emailed them to ask.
