News 3 asked the Virginia Health Department how the program is going and how they are protecting peoples' privacy. News 3 also spoke to Gregg Tennefoss, who is an technology expert and professor at Tidewater Community College. He said he is also one of the almost 1.9 million people in the state of Virginia who signed up for the app. "I think it's a good idea, and I think everybody should be on it," said Tennefoss.
