We are experiencing a high number of public records requests. We are processing your request and the electronic search is in the queue. Our estimate of time is based on our workload, the volume of records we have, the potential volume of records you have asked us to search for, the number of requests in the queue prior to your request, and the availability of staff to search for, review, and produce records because of DOH efforts with the COVID-19 pandemic response. The Department of Health is in the process of identifying, gathering, and reviewing the records responsive to your request. We anticipate providing records responsive to this request on or before July 30, 2021 .
WAC 246-08-990 (RCW 42.56.120) authorizes the Department of Health to collect fees for providing copies either electronically or in paper format. After we have determined the number of records responsive to your request, we will give you a cost estimate for production of the records. Here is a link to the public records fee schedule.

The Department of Health did not design this exposure notification app. Text from the Google webpage (link below) states; “Google and Apple jointly created the Exposure Notifications System out of a shared sense of responsibility to help governments and our global community fight this pandemic through contact tracing.” Google link: https://www.google.com/covid19/exposurenotifications/ (https://u8387778.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=6HtRfOYLt5fXvpttM-2FU1HdnxG30VavAILyz3aUw8T-2FyzdMIdroBFYdqlpieRqsnDtP4pdzI617ipgZxTU5g2ITw1e3y5BExqIq2-2BonPDJu4Drcf15GHS1nZIt-2Fa5awmTJEkXqLCEo71xKmT-2BYUUyserm-2Br4CXbeSVriWEEbTeC9JZkQ-2BwKXNjQDa8HSbakS4VbmgA3j1sbVfmBL6temAShmiNG1DlHzVpXDyvbKdDhb7lisH7jOqNbPX7c90JnLILX7TaVxzbttulWEbwBLOu-2FZX1oO0tkkSr0AF6vNRRN4jUujF4V6b-2BK7-2B5yrr9TpdI5H6LL50aHbaDVdIZwLWNMUk6FLhFpEPIW1G9luXT2LNtaSVblcfgMV9zLwRbxElXQXdrB028tjY49X6JvkXHZnK8R-2BHLeMjuzguX9bp6l5NlVDK0ycDxjHBcYwbLvNQqVPHW4auIB94zkD8CYzmt9L2jOVnxWDpmH-2BjRYAJbw4qdQUtcAe0GKJ3dRchreWM4xWG444NtzUW7auIbmctezQUCjlSo6E1xYiv9l8hE-2FLV9iwM-2FmhPXIWn602vOOTcYTjO_SOVmIUnyVIqz-2FVbSYiZSEBeLB7qCxmuntFcmYtowCHEaB2jaobkQLvAS-2FEreSbqp0KQrshgY40RXF-2BT48iBrlM5ruun1E1kXAE1Pohpa-2BTJ2P4yINbfznc05-2FDX1Ny8nzhju0DHSekrWOW6-2BEIlDpEYi78ktnAm7NqQzOSTaWrWJVNYXs50Bw9iv08ty0wHX3rjTqKE7najKBx-2BDIdfvq5DcneAdzp3FNEnGUoGUG5w-3D)

While the released android application application is based on an open source template as you have indicated, the published application released by the department of health appears to have been customized.
It includes washington DoH specific graphics and branding that reflect that the open source template has been customized before release.
It is the published android application as listed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.wa.doh.exposurenotifications whose code I am requesting.
