South Australia plans to expand a pilot of its COVID-19 Home Quarantine SA application as the country’s borders re-open, InnovationAus reports. A trial is being conducted of the app that uses facial recognition and geolocation to confirm an individual’s identity and whereabouts. “I think it’s a great innovation that can be rolled out right across the country. Ultimately, home-based quarantine has got to be preferable … but it’s got to be safe as well,” South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said.
