Revision as of 13:10, 4 October 2026
From mynbc15.com and krcrtv.com:
- Australia’s second-most populous state, Victoria, has begun piloting a home quarantine tracking program that randomly calls those quarantining at home and requests a selfie from them within five minutes in order to track their location via GPS.
- Victoria’s Health Minister Martin Foley announced the launch of the new “home quarantine check-in process” during a press conference Sept. 28. Foley said the new app-based program will “add to the tools as to how our quarantining system can make sure that people are where they’re meant to be when they’re meant to be.”
- Foley said the new program is directed at Victorians coming back from overseas travel “sooner rather than later as part of the national plan.”
- The app randomly sends messages or phone calls to participants and requests a rapid response selfie from them in order to track their location via GPS.
