Contact Tracing: More transparency wanted


To strike a balance, many believe there is a need for more transparency as a reassurance that their data will be well cared for.

“I am a bit worried about my data security. Even in my social media pages, my security is set to the highest levels. I do two-step verifications and authentications on a lot of things. I grew up knowing that data privacy was important but this pandemic makes me feel very uncertain. I’m not sure how best to protect that data but at the same time I also want to be compliant with the law and Covid-19 measures, ” she says.

“I cannot think of an alternative so I’m going with the current contact tracing systems. There were a lot of worries at first, I resisted for a long time but as the MCO extended, I recognise that this is now the new normal, ” she says.
