Interesting study on COVID contact tracing, manually, or via apps. In NL, merely 2% of the PCR tests were done after a notification originating from the Dutch tracing app (CoronaMelder), and just 2.5% after being traced manually.
The study concludes that contact tracing, digitally or manually, had little effect (“limited impacts”).

My phone has no Google play services (#Fairphone OS). The Dutch Corona App cannot run on my phone.
Relying on Google is troublesome, because Google itself is a privacy nightmare.
