The Senate has made a report of the measures to be adopted against the so-called "pandemic", it's called "Health crises and digital tools: responding effectively to regain our freedoms"
Translated excerpt:
While the Covid-19 pandemic is not over, and it is likely that it is neither the last nor the strongest, it would be irresponsible not to seize such possibilities. The widespread restrictions imposed on "physical" freedoms in recent months have become less and less bearable. They are neither durable, nor even very effective, compared to what a more systematic use of digital technology would allow.
The use of digital technology would make it possible to precisely monitor compliance with health measures, at an individual level and in real time: in return, the restrictions could be targeted on a small number of people, and be more limited in time, while having maximum efficiency. Perhaps tomorrow, thanks to digital technology, we will be able to regain our “physical” freedoms faster, or even never abandon them, and have pandemics without containment - and this even if no vaccine or treatment is available.
There are many possible tools but, in the short and medium term at least, the most obvious use cases concern the control of compliance with the rules aimed at limiting the transmission of the virus (health pass, curfews, confinements, quarantines, etc. .), which involves crossing three types of data: identification data, medical data, and location data (from the most intrusive, with GPS tracking, to the lightest and occasional, with conditional access to certain places, in passing through the relative location data with contact tracing).
