‘Smart quarantine’ IT system traces contacts amid Covid-19

Czech authorities are testing a new IT system to quickly trace the contacts of those infected with the coronavirus to curb its spread, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

“It generates a memory map showing ... for instance that a man spent half an hour at the corner of two streets,” Covid19CZ spokesperson Irena Zatloukalova said. Under the this smart quarantine system, which is being tested in a southeastern Czech region, the contacts will then be put in a short quarantine of a maximum of three days until they undergo Covid-19 tests.

The EU country of 10.7-million people has registered just over 3,000 confirmed cases of the virus, with 24 deaths.
