They can monitor your whereabouts. I had an employee get pinged when they said they were home and at work, they told them the that cell tower they were registering from was not the one closest to home. They traveled to Florida in December and they are on the quarantine list. My employee had to get an employment verification and submit as hospital employees are exempt from the quarantine guidelines
Something does not seem right about this story. You can't get someone's cell tower locations without their explicit permission and even then it would be difficult. They would need a subpoena. I think that your employee misunderstood something.
This also happened to a mom that I know. Her family was told to quarantine and she wasn't home during the assigned call (was picking up drive up groceries) and received a call that her cellphone wasn't pinging near her home.
What did they do to her? I'm trying to figure out what the punishment is if they catch you with their cell phone pings.
What if you just didn't answer when they called if you are out picking up your groceries?
Say you were in the bathroom taking a shit or something. I never answer my cell anyway

Yea, that is my concern...I don't like my business out there or having to answer personal questions to some random person over the phone. I'm all for being safe, but its getting a bit much!

My son tested positive (he's 6) and I received a letter saying that he was an imminent threat to the health and safety of New York. I understand that this is serious, but I found it a little over the top!

Imminent threat?!?!? Holy cow....
They are texting me regarding symptoms...which are none.....my fear is that if I go to get drive up service (if I absolutely had to), that the text would ping elsewhere...crazy right?
BTW - if you keep a baby book, I would put that letter into it so in 10 years he could see that he was an imminent threat to the state of NY  Quite an accomplishment at that age.

 So f-ing dramatic
Don't let him outside, he may be charged with attempted murder

Re: NYS Contact Tracing
Didn’t want to quote everyone but I know Apple phones have a covid tracker where they can track you. I made sure to turn my off!
Wonder if that’s how they were able to track the person
ETA: it does say it won’t share information without your permission

I thought you had to physically activate that app yourself though.

Honestly i don’t remember but I feel like I had to go in a d turned it off. It’s not an app it’s under setting so it’s not anything you download and I feel like
The default would be to have it set on

I do remember my phone getting this setting too but it was turned off and they said if you want to use it, turn it on.
I have to go look though

When you try to turn it on it references the NY State Exposure App.
