Sorry, I misread what you wrote about civil liberties being violated. I agree that they would be violated if more countries adopted the location tracking apps, but I think that we're already past the point of no return regarding the violation of civil liberties when police departments are using stingrays, people can be harassed when entering the country when they want to check their devices, and we have broad laws such as the CFAA. Vietnam is also doing a mandatory 14-day quarantine at designated sites (hotels, military bases) for those arriving from ASEAN countries, the US, and Europe. There is no reported community spread yet, and all the cases are from people flying into the country and infecting a few individuals. The policy was only enacted a few days ago, but I really hope life here can return to normal if we start to catch all the cases before they leave quarantine. Additionally if we can test everyone before letting them leave quarantine.
