Israel starts surveilling virus carriers, sends 400 who were nearby to isolation | The Times of Israel
The Health Ministry announced Wednesday it has begun using mass surveillance tools to retrace the movements of coronavirus carriers and has already informed 400 people in contact with them that they must enter quarantine.
