What if you do not possess a smartphone? What choice do you have, then? Are you just forced into hotel quarantine or do they lend you a smartphone? (Genuine question.)
- NamTaf 5y agoI'm guessing, but they will probably do police visits periodically as they do with existing home quarantine (i.e. if you're a close contact of a case).
- himinlomax 5y agoIf you have the means to travel far enough to be subjected to quarantine, you have the means to spend $100 on a phone.
- RalfWausE 5y agoYou may have the MEANS... but is a smartphone MANDATORY? I have the means to travel abroad, no problem, but never in my mind i would voluntarily own a smartphone.
- danielheath 5y agoNo, it's not mandatory. You can quarantine in a hotel.
- RalfWausE 5y agoThen i would prefer the hotel... visible chains are better than invisible ones.
- danielheath 5y agoSure. Hotel quarantine is the default. If you prefer, you are also able to use the app and stay home.
- nevermindiguess 5y agoTypical lefto-fascist thinking. Disregard for the law and forced imposition of measures based on subjective perception. Well, by the same token you look to me like the kind of person that could commit an act of terror. Let’s have the police interrogate you.
- drdreer 5y agoNowadays you can get a used smartphone for free.
- ManlyBread 5y agoYou can, but do you have to? Are Australian citizens required by law to possess a smartphone? Is it not a choice of the individual?
