The government amended and unanimously approved overnight Tuesday a motion allowing authorities to utilize advanced digital monitoring tools to track and surveil patients carrying the novel coronavirus.
The Shin Bet security agency will document and examine the location that the patient had visited before entering quarantine or being hospitalized.
The technology will allow the Shin Bet to track down people who were at contagion distance from the patient along their path and report directly to their phones that they have been exposed to the disease and must enter quarantine or get tested for the virus.
