South Australia will be the first state or territory in the country to implement an at-home quarantine trial, starting this week.
The first trial program of home-based quarantine will begin in South Australia this week.
South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said geo-location and facial recognition software would be used to track people who were quarantining."As we have more people in quarantine, it's going to be very, very resource-intensive to have the police going around and checking, so instead we're going to be using technology to trial," he told ABC Radio Adelaide.
"I think we've got the best QR code check-in app in the country … and I think this is another step forward using technology."
