Wearers are prompted to walk around the perimeter of their apartment, or wherever they would be spending the quarantine period, to map it out for the app.One person told the New York Times that after mapping her apartment, if her phone was in an unregistered space it would start beeping, and could only be stopped by scanning each member of the family's wristband QR code.After two weeks, a text informs wearers that their quarantine period is over, and they can cut off the wristband.
Some of the 60,000 bracelets issued by the Department of Health and the Innovation and Technology Bureau are larger than the wristbands, and capable of tracking wearers independently of their phones.The tracking bracelets are larger and more intrusive, bigger than a typical watch.See the bracelet next to an Apple Watch for comparison.
Now, freedom is disappearing for the sake of the nation. Now, even if we go out, the government will track all of our movements.
Wow.
