It's similar to the German Covid contact-tracing app Luca, which German police is already using for other purposes.

It seems the only way to opt-out is to get out of the Apple ecosystem.

Luca isn't an Apple app is it? And I thought the system Apple developed with Google had much better privacy guarantees? Although I don't think it was ever actually deployed.
