    Because it would probably have vastly, vastly slowed down the processing of incoming passengers. One of the first Geo posters to enter under this system described the process when it included app downloading and registration. He was estimating 1-1.5 hour wait times unless you were luck enough to beat your planeload of people to the queue.

    Would you prefer to hang around home waiting for an SMS, or be physically stuck in a queue for an hour and a half after an intercontinental flight, quite possibly with tired kids in tow. Or listening to other peoples' tired kids.

    I’ve personally seen a foreign couple with these bracelets walking around CWB.

    Did you do or say anything? Take a picture? Call the authorities?

    Not fully related to this thread maybe, but if I would want to get tested (while not having symptoms), where should I go? Public hospital, or any other type of location?

    This person had another idea: called the police and chased the quarantinee down the street warning everyone that they have a wristband, while filming.

    Just saw that video, WTF
    If you're going to ignore quarantine, at least cover the fuck up with long sleeves
