This week South Australia will begin trials of home quarantine for travellers returning from Victoria and New South Wales.

Premier Steven Marshall said geo-location and facial recognition software will be used to track people quarantining.

Mr Marshall says, “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.”

If successful, other states will follow this home-based quarantine scheme.
