My fear is that when I start the app in front of an inspector in JNB, if somewhere, somehow I was exposed to someone who reported on the app as having COVID from the time I deplaned in JNB and walked to passport control, would that force me to quarantine? It should be unlikely since passengers wouldn't be at a point to start getting alerts from the environment, but what if I walk by one of the airport staff who may have used the app to alert others to their COVID exposure.

I'm thinking I should shut off blue tooth on the phone until I'm past that inspection point if one even exists, or keep it shut off unless they ask to verify it. I'd be curious to see how they handle someone who doesn't have a phone. In my wife's case she's not bringing her phone since she has no use for it in ZA.
