"The idea is that a person with mild symptoms can check the travel logs to see whether they might have come in contact with an infected person, which could help medical officials decide who should be screened, says Sung-il Cho, an epidemiologist at Seoul National University.

"Information published online and sent to phone users can name specific bars, restaurants or hotels. So, even though patients' names are kept anonymous, a detailed timeline of their whereabouts combined with a person's area of residence may reveal who they are."

""In South Korea, people have been tracked to the point where they could be identified. Their implementation arguably compromised their citizens' privacy and this is a question we have to think about and challenge in a democracy," Sharman said."
