(Worthy News) – Israel will begin electronic monitoring of people entering the country who are obliged to quarantine, after the cabinet approved the move on Sunday.
While the cabinet approved use of “electronic measures,” the government does not plan to use tracking bracelets, but rather to encourage the use of a smartphone app.

The state made use of this app during previous COVID outbreaks. [ Source: Ha’aretz (Read More…) ]
