Apple Maps Alerts International Travelers of Self-Isolation Guidance

Apple Maps (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/maps/) appears to have started alerting users of self-isolation guidance for international travelers if they've recently been at an airport.





Kyle Seth Gray (https://twitter.com/kylesethgray/status/1286485536421507072?s=20) shared on Twitter an alert he received on his iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) after being at an airport, suggesting the notifications are targeted geo-location based alerts, rather than being linked to any personal details about international travel.

The linked CDC guidance advises recent travelers to take their temperature with a thermometer twice a day to check for fever, to stay at home and avoid contact with others, not to take public transport, and to stay 2 meters away from other people.





&zwnj;Apple Maps&zwnj; started displaying (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/28/apple-maps-covid-19-testing-locations/) COVID-19 testing locations within &zwnj;Apple Maps&zwnj; in April.
