I found the link I was thinking of -

So I was slightly incorrect with my above statement, thanks to my
dodgy memory. The microG code is fully free software, but most (if
not all) of the covid apps use a proprietary Google library to hook
into it. However there has been some work to replace that Google
library with the appropriate code from microG for some apps, see
here:
