Second, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms. This is a more robust solution than an API and would allow more individuals to participate, if they choose to opt in, as well as enable interaction with a broader ecosystem of apps and government health authorities.

of course, NSA already has this kind of technology. But this probably distributes the capability to many more "government health authorities".
Oh well, so long as you haven't done anything wrong (by past, present, and future standards), this shouldn't affect you.
