    Attorney General Frosh Asks Apple and Google to Ensure All Contact

    Brian E. Frosh Media Contacts: Attorney General [email protected] 410-576-7009 Attorney General Frosh Asks Apple and Google to Ensure All Contact Tracing Apps Serve a Public Health Purpose Bipartisan Coalition of Attorneys General Expresses Concern about Privacy Implications in Letters Sent to Apple and Google BALTIMORE, MD (June 16, 2020) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today asked Google and Apple to ensure all contact tracing and exposure notification apps related to COVID- 19 adequately protect consumers’ personal information. Joining a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general, Attorney General Frosh specifically asked Google and Apple to guarantee that such apps, when available to consumers, are affiliated with a public health authority and removed from Google Play and the App Store once no longer needed by public health authorities. In a letter sent today to the chief executive officers of Apple and Google, the Attorneys General acknowledge that while digital contact tracing and exposure notification tools are valuable in understanding the spread of COVID-19 and assisting public health authorities, these same technologies pose a risk to consumers’ privacy. “In the midst of a global pandemic, easily accessible digital contract tracing apps may be a valuable tool to help reduce the spread of COVID-19,” said Attorney General Frosh. “But it is essential that we avoid exposing consumers’ personal and health information to unverified, questionable apps.” Digital contact tracing may provide a valuable tool to understand the spread of COVID-19 and assist the public health response to the pandemic. However, such technology also poses a risk to consumers’ personally identifiable information, including sensitive health information, that could continue long after the present public health emergency ends.

  • Activity Pack 1: Imagine

    Activity Pack 1: Imagine

    Activity Pack 1: Imagine Activity for Grades 6-8 Thomas Edison once said, “To have a great idea is to have a lot of them.” Brainstorming is a key part of this stage in the creative process. In fact, brainstorming remains one of the most effective creative thinking techniques in use today. The primary cornerstone to brainstorming is the absence of judgment or criticism. All ideas, no matter how non-traditional, have the right to exist at this stage. This is particularly valuable for those students who lack the confidence to publicly share their ideas. A comfortable, collaborative environment can help to inspire students during the “imagine” phase. Invite students to sit on beanbag chairs instead of at desks, in groups instead of by themselves, outdoors rather than inside the school, or listening to music instead of working in silence. This year’s Doodle 4 Google competition theme is: If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place. We can think of no greater purpose for students to show their creativity than to make the world better for others. It all starts with a little imagination! Graffiti Inspiration In this activity, students come up with 101 ideas for improving their schools and use their imaginations and the graffiti carousel brainstorming technique to generate creative ideas for how to make the world a better place. Strategy: This activity uses graffiti carousel brainstorming, a technique used to help generate creative ideas while stimulating physical movement. Large sheets of butcher paper are hung on walls, each with a different prompt or question.

    Community Partners Use Your Phone to Fight COVID-19 The State of Delaware is pleased to announce COVID Alert DE, Delaware’s official COVID-19 exposure notification app, will launch September 15, 2020. As part of Delaware’s response to COVID-19, we appreciate what community partners like you have done to help slow the transmission of the coronavirus, protect lives, and reopen our state. To help further the fight against COVID-19, the State of Delaware is pleased to announce COVID Alert DE, Delaware’s official COVID-19 anonymous exposure notification mobile app, will launch in September. Delaware is joining the first handful of states in deploying an exposure notification app using the Apple/Google Bluetooth Low Energy framework. To maximize the app’s effectiveness, we need your help. The Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) and our Division of Public Health (DPH) are calling on Delaware’s higher-education institutions, businesses and other community and non-profit organizations to encourage your students, employees, customers and community members to download and use this free app available in the Google Play Store and the App Store. Although our positive case counts are less than 100 per day, we know that could change. The more Delaware’s residents are aware of potential exposure to COVID-19, the more likely we are to keep transmission rates low, keep our friends and family protected and keep our economy moving forward. The Department of Health and Social Services takes privacy and confidentiality seriously, and we know that COVID Alert DE will raise questions about each.
