I suppose further commentary is out of scope.
In any event, I hope you continue to have an asymptomatic course!
There is no such rule, and UA could be doing its own contact tracing to the extent of alerting someone that they have been in proximity to someone who has tested positive so the person being alerted can take appropriate measures to get tested themselves or isolate if they see fit to do so. It doesn't mean I expect the name, email and phone of the person who was infected, but I certainly deserve to know if I was exposed, if this information is made available to, or known by United, or any business for that matter.
