"Pathway" means turning on a cell phone and staying in a medium- or high-risk area for more than four hours or more, at which point communications big data automatically records it as a pathway or visit, so the individual's health code and trip code will change.
But if you are just driving or riding in a car, or if you are not in the area for more than 4 hours in total, you will not be recorded as a route or visit, and your health code and trip code will not be affected.
