Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google on Monday said they would ban the use of location tracking in apps that use a new contact tracing system the two are building to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. The companies said last month they would work together to create a system for notifying people who have been near others who have tested positive for Covid-19. They said privacy was their primary goal.
