Answer 1

Answer

Yes,

scan of the technological horizon in the context of Covid-19 allows some preliminary remarks regarding the terms of technological engagement in the fight against this once-in-a-century pandemic First, unlike previous public health crises, this one seems to be transforming citizens from objects of surveillance and epidemiological analysis into subjects of data generation through self-tracking, data sharing and digital data flows. Secondly, although most of these technologies have not been applied in a medical emergency context before, their intensive use on a global scale triggers questions about the effects on civil liberties of mobilising mass surveillance tools as well as concerns about state authorities maintaining heightened levels of surveillance, even after the pandemic ends. In the context of the current pandemic, numerous data collection and location-tracking technological applications have been launched on the basis of emergency laws that involve the temporary suspension of fundamental rights and authorisation of medical devices and vaccines via fast-tracked in this pandemic era.
