Knesset advances bill to allow police to track phones to enforce quarantines
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Knesset advances a bill that would permit police to use phone tracking to enforce coronavirus quarantine orders.
The proposal clears its first reading with 49 lawmakers in favor, 26 against.
If passed into law in two more readings, the emergency ordinance will be in effect for three months.
The bill comes after the High Court of Justice said such powers must be anchored in law.
