    Cases in my town on Feb 28 and today. There's some improvement despite the population nearly doubled since then with people coming to their summer homes.
    In Turkey everyone have to have this app on their phone so that you can show the barcode generated on the app while entering shopping malls, airports etc. Good for contact tracing.

    As we're planning to fly to the US, we were wondering is anybody going to let us know if there was someone with covid on the plane after the flight? They are asking for tests to be done 48 hours before the flight but imagine a whole plane gets the virus and then they walk into the country without knowing they have it and keep spreading.

    • the idea is, there is no covid on the plane because of the mandatory negative tests.

      they also say, it's unprovable to get infected in a plane.

    • I don’t think the US is contact tracing in the way you describe. If someone from your plane gets covid, likely no one will do anything about it.nb
    • This is some creepy tech you are showing us.
      As enclosed spaces, airplanes are very easy to get infect on.
