High Court: Shin Bet surveillance of virus carriers must be enshrined in law
(Worthy News) – The High Court of Justice ruled Sunday that the Shin Bet security service’s cellphone tracking of confirmed coronavirus carriers cannot continue unless the government anchors the highly controversial practice in law.
