Case in point is Hawaii, which considered the sweeping use of GPS-enabled ankle bracelets or smartphone tracking apps to enforce stay-at-home orders given to arriving air passengers, according to Ronald Kouchi, the president of the Hawaii state senate. Kris Keyton, of Arkansas-based E-Cell, said he had recently been approached by a state agency that wanted to adapt his detainee-tracking smartphone app for quarantine enforcement.

Other governments are weighing similar technology, said Magaletta of Shadowtrack, who said he was in talks with half a dozen countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

razhael Republicans will shit their pants if this is suggested as a solution. They think they have the absolute right to infect anyone they want.

razhael Uh, no. This is not a Communist country and we are not felons.

razhael good! It will save lives. Eastern Asia employed this tech from the beginning of outbreak

razhael mmmm ... well you wanted the lockdown lifted.... you're a lot of ankle bracelets to keep carriers of this vile virus out of communities. Careful for what you ask for is the moral of the tale.
