The government held a meeting yesterday (7 days) on whether to fill the wristbands with self-isolators, but could not conclude. Along with the controversy over human rights abuses, we have to think about cost issues.

Reporter Nam Joo-Hyun has figured out what the problem is in Hong Kong, which is already implementing the system.

Hong Kong introduced wristbands for the first time on February 3rd.

It was targeted by people from Wuhan, China.

In the middle of last month, the target of wearing was expanded to all those who arrived from overseas, and shortly afterwards, due to technical problems, only a third of the wristbands had a trial and error.

In the quarantine process, there were people who missed or did not hear the explanation properly.

[Charles Mok / Hong Kong Residents: I think it is a procedural and handling problem in the airport where many people are confused and confused.]

In Taiwan, there were discussions about electronic bracelets, but legal authority issues were raised. Currently, a mobile phone location tracking-based system similar to that of Korea is being used.

In addition to technical and procedural matters, it is necessary to sufficiently review the legal and human rights aspects so that there is no controversy.

Consent to the provision and use of personal information and location information is essential even for self-quarantine apps used in domestic quarantine.

This is why the self-contained app installation rate is far below 100%.

Even with the introduction of wristbands, the government should also consider how to handle the cost and management and retroactively apply it to existing insulators.
