ORLANDO, Fla. — At least 20 states have or are developing apps that help users track the spread of the coronavirus and warn them if they've been near someone who has tested positive for highly contagious COVID-19.
Florida is not one of them and likely won't be.
As the Google-Apple technology takes hold across the U.S., several Florida mayors urged Gov. Ron DeSantis to create the state's own app to shore up a state tracing program Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber described as "still failing to do its job."
