New York Issues Subpoenas For Contact Tracing; Smartphones Add CV Logging Feature
July 4, 2020
The party linked to the new potential cluster was the first of three large parties in Rockland County in the last two weeks. It was hosted June 13 by someone in New City who was sick with coronavirus at the time, sources say. County officials said Wednesday that the host knew they were symptomatic and held the party anyway.Those who do not follow the orders could face a civil penalty of up to $2,000 a day. The eight Clarkstown residents involved in the parties faced similar fines until they complied with the county’s subpoenas.
“We are not receiving the necessary cooperation when we contact those who are positive for COVID-19 or those who had been at some of these gatherings,” Rupert said. “My staff has been told that a person does not wish to or have to speak to my disease investigators. They hang up, they deny being at the party, even though we have found their name from another party attendee, or a parent provides us with the information.”
“Many do not answer their cell phones and do not call back,” she added. “Sometimes parents answer for their adult children and promise that they have been home consistently, when they have not been. This must stop.”
The frustrations have now led to subpoenas, she said.
“Unfortunately I am now forced by these circumstances to send subpoenas to the individuals who are required to cooperate with us,” Rupert said. “Failure to comply will be costly: $2,000 per day.”
Meanwhile, our smartphones – both Android and iPhone – have been given a sneaky upgrade to add a CV contract tracing feature. Apple and Google rolled out the new contact tracing tool in their respective settings —called COVID-19 Exposure Logging.
