One person on the floor tests positive.
Sending everyone home stops the work. Sending nobody home is not an option, and nobody can say who was really close.
Isolate the few who were close. Keep everyone else at work.
In 2020 and 2021, Vizible Zone gave organisations a way to keep working through the pandemic. When someone reported a case, only the people who were really close were told.
Switch Vizible Zone off, then on.
An office day
In preparation.
The situation
12Awareness and understanding
Each phone knows who was close, and for how long.
Phones note close contact through the working day, and each keeps its own record. They warn people who stand too close for too long.
3Prediction
Here, ahead means days, not seconds.
The moment a case is reported, the people who may have been exposed are known.
4Warning
It tells only the people who were really close.
They get the notice, and everyone else keeps working. Encounter records stay on each person’s phone. When a case is confirmed, that person’s record is shared with the organisation, so that only the people who were close are told.
Who is told: the people who were really close, and those managing the response. Nobody else.
What you get
Work continues. Only the people who were really close stay home.
