MEMPHIS, Tenn. —Shelby County Health Department Director Alisa Haushalter said dozens of people at the health department work to trace those individuals every day, but in order to keep anyone from slipping through the cracks, they need more help.
Haushalter said the University of Memphis is working on a possible solution to lighten the workload.
“The University of Memphis is working on an app that does allow for monitoring where people are and determining if people come in less than that six-feet contact,” Haushalter said.
As of right now, not much information on the app has been released.
