Use Proximity Tracing to Identify Possible Contact Events

The GeoAnalytics software development team has created a new tool to trace proximity events– a tool we’re calling Proximity Tracing. This tool searches for when and where individual entities (for example, animals, people, vehicles, devices) are within a given proximity to other individuals in space and time – what we’re calling proximity events. Tracing potential proximity events can be applied to contact tracing – to help find potential contact events.___Communities around the world are taking strides in mitigating the threat that COVID-19 (coronavirus) poses.
