Does Yoast take care of Google Analytics?

I've had Yoast installed for ever and recently revived my Google Analytics account.

Today I got an email from GA saying: "Don't forget to enable data collection to experience the new Google Analytics."

"To enable data collection, you need to add your new Google Analyticstag (gtag.js) to the header of every page of your site. You'll find it here. Once you take this step, your new property will start populating with data."

It looks like a message everyone might receive as there is yet another new version of GA.

Does Yoast handle this on my behalf or did GA send the message specifically to me to do this because it detects data collection isn't working?
