Australian Government to develop smartphone app for facial
recognition and GPS tracking of COVID-19

In an official statement, the State Government announced a contract
to a Western Australian (WA) company for $1.1 million to develop a
new smartphone app that uses facial recognition and GPS tracking
technology to monitor people who are ordered to self-quarantine at
home, reported InDaily.

Stephen Wade, the Health Minister, in a written statement said that
the app would be used to track people who arrive in South Australia
from interstate COVID-19 hotspots, or who are close or casual
contacts of local cases, to ensure that they comply with quarantine
directions.

The government documents reveal that a Perth-based technology company
GenVis has won the $1,102,310 contract following a selective tender
process in November. GenVis is behind WA's 'G2G Now app, which uses
facial recognition and phone location data to check if people in
quarantine are at their registered address.

Downloading and using the G2G app is voluntary in WA, but the
Government encourages people to use it, claiming it "keeps you safe
and the rest of the community safe while freeing up more police
resources that would otherwise be undertaking more regular physical
checks".
