One project trying to answer such questions is Decentralised Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (DP3T), which proposes a decentralised system that uses temporary identification tags.

Other groups of researchers are also coming up with privacy-protecting designs, notably the Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT), which is working on a Europe-wide, opt-in app. The group isn’t wedded to the idea of a decentralised design, but like DP3T argues in favour of an anonymous identifier paired with Bluetooth for proximity tracing.
