SA govt trials home quarantine app with facial recognition, GPS tracking
Category: News Articles
The South Australian government is set to trial a smartphone app that uses facial recognition and geolocation to confirm a person’s location during home quarantine.
The government will trial the app known as Home Quarantine SA with 50 residents who are required to undertake 14 days of quarantine on return from interstate locations this week.
The app will allow trial participants to “confirm their location with regular check-ins” through a live face check-in feature that uses facial recognition and location verification.
It gives individuals 15 minutes to respond to the random location verification requests at their registered location.
