This data is intended to be used in concert with manual contact tracing, not instead of it. The problem with contact tracing, as people get more mobile, is that while you can say "I was in contact with my friend X" you probably can't tell the contact tracer the name of the person sitting behind you in the restaurant. This will help with that, potentially.
