COVID Exposure Notification

During the initial COVID outbreak, I remember my iPhone kept asking me to approve Exposure Notifications. I imagine this was using the iPhone network to track close contacts and to provide a notification if one of them tested positive for COVID. This was released with iOS 13.7 in early September 2020.

So after almost two years, I finally got a notification tonight.

A couple of issues. First, the notification is for a 48-hour period. Is the by design? I am sure Apple knows the exact moment of the proximity contact; at lease give us a narrower window. Second, there is no location. For this notification, it was for Wednesday and Thursday. This means it is 99% likely that it was a work contact since I did not see anyone outside of work. If you visited a lot of places during the 48-hours, this notification would not give you any useful information other than to get tested for COVID. Finally, I assume that the notification is two days late is because the contact only tested positive today?

I guess I will wait until tomorrow morning to do another rapid test.
