(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Taiwan uses "electronic fence" surveillance and control system to locate homes and isolate people
China News Agency, Taipei, March 27th. In response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, relevant Taiwan authorities have recently adopted electronic technology to monitor and isolate people at home and issue tickets to those who violate the regulations.
According to media reports from the Central News Agency and United News Network, relevant parties in Taiwan have launched an “electronic fence” monitoring and control system. When contacts and immigrants with confirmed cases implement home isolation or home quarantine, telecommunications operators will monitor their mobile phone positioning. The location is outside the specified range, and the relevant information will be passed to the relevant units for processing.
The Central News Agency reported that some people are concerned that the electronic technology violates personal privacy, and Taiwan's communications authority said that it is a necessary anti-epidemic measure at present.
"Lianhe Daily" reports that the "electronic fence" monitoring and control system can help quickly find quarantine objects. It is reported that the Kaohsiung Health Bureau has discovered through the "electronic fence" that people have left the quarantine premises and fined 200,000 NTD. (Finish)
