Not sure this is is the right forum for this, but I saw an SP who later tested positive for COVID. How do I know?
Because the new smartphone app notified me of an exposure to a positive person and I had suggested to the SP that she download the app. One week after our encounter, I received a notification that I had been in close contact with someone who had since reported a positive test result to the app. I didn’t have close physical contact with anybody else during that period. So would be extremely unlikely that the notification wasn’t from her, seeing as how I recommended she download the app and very few Canadians have it on their phones (5% I think?j).
Thanks to the app, I went to get tested and the result was negative. Big relief after a stressful few days.! Somehow I wasn’t infected after an hour long session. Maybe I dodged a bullet and my body resisted the virus, or maybe she hadn’t yet contracted the virus when I saw her?
I of course want to stress that I. will NOT name the girl nor the agency in order to respect privacy and anonymity. This is just meant as a heads up that the virus is circulating in the community, SPs are not immune, and the COVID smartphone app can be a useful tool to inform hobbyists about a risky encounter after the fact.
