Hello,
I am curious if there is anyway to set up exposure tracking so that it will automatically turn off at a set location and then resume when you leave.
We have a close friend who works with COVID patients at a hospital. Obviously running exposure tracking in that environment is fraught with issues if someone flags themselves in an app. They are taking proper precautions when at work and know they are being exposed. But they want to be able to run exposure tracking when outside of work in case they become ill or they come in contact with someone outside of the hospital setting who becomes sick.
I have looked in Shortcuts and there is no way to control this, any other options to look into? My friend is very not-tech savvy so the more seamless and fewer button pushes, the better.

Thanks
 
I am not sure where you are are located but I believe the Scottish app has just been updated so doctors and nurses can turn it off while at work. Not sure if it automatic or if this will be rolling out across the UK.
 
The England app has a toggle you can slide to turn off for situations like this and when doing so you get options for different time intervals to be reminded to turn it back on. However i'm not aware of anything in the app to automate the process.

I turn it off when at work with a reminder notification 4 hours later to turn it back on.
