The “9 steps and 24 hours waiting” thing is kinda misleading: that’s once. Only the last two steps (the ones matching today’s steps) have to be repeated.
Of course that’s still an issue (e.g. you’ll only be able to do this for a relative if you see them two days in a row) but it’s much less bad than the implied “9 steps and 24 hours waiting every time”
