In "surprisingly good experiences in government and healthcare IT", the HER-SYS system for tracking covid symptoms through self-reports also includes same symptoms input by healthcare professionals and public health workers (typically after followup call or on-site health check).
I kinda feel a little unhappy that a nationwide database with a competent web frontend that can join records by primary key is surprisingly novel, but I will take competence where I can get competence.
(Also feels surprisingly novel to read doctor's notes, which is something I've had very few experiences of in the healthcare system of either nation I've lived in. An interesting look at a norm in a state of flux.)
"What's the primary key?"
A good question, and since all the obvious answers are bad ones for a variety of reasons, the true answer is "If your doctor reports you as covid+ w/ a new case to the system they get issued the new numeric primary key, which gets texted to you."

You get texted an exhortation to participate in daily health tracking via the site, which at signup will ask for the primary key (if known).
