Home Quarantine for COVID to be triald
Victorians to take part in home quarantine pilot program
Health Minister Martin Foley says the app-based pilot will include those who are currently isolating at home
“This app uses a downloaded picture from a smartphone, a selfie, to check in where you are meant to be when you are meant to be there. It links back to location -based technology to confirm both the place you are and your identity at the time of the alert.
“Participants will receive advice via the smartphone app as to their obligation at random times to provide a selfie back to the public health teams.
“Should that not be responded to in a period of time, follow-up calls or visits are made so as to make sure that the person is where they should be.”
