Tracking Bracelets For COVID-19

There is a new type of smartwatch/ smart wrist band coming out that will track users and alert them if they are breaking social distancing rules.

This band has already been implemented in Bahrain in India and so far it has worked. This wristband will track the user's location to see where they go and if they go and meet anyone else. I think that it is paired with a phone through Bluetooth and then sends a signal to the phone or it can be paired through wifi. It is a very simple design but it could have a massive impact on the virus.

Since there is no cure for this virus yet we have got to come up with different ways that we can do to prevent the spread of this virus further. Ideally, a massive lockdown would do it for a very long time but nobody wants that and the economy could definitely not handle that. Yes, if you wear this then you are waiving your rights to privacy as they will have your location at all times but that is a small price to pay for another life.

This bracelet is supposed to alert you when it comes in contact with a person who is too close to you it beeps to alert you and others around you that they are too loose. I imagine this only works if the other people are also wearing the bracelet otherwise it will have nothing to ping from apart from another person's smartphone that might be in a different location. The bracelet is a cool concept to understand and I can see this working only if everyone complies with it.

In places like America where they are trying to end the lockdown and have more freedom then this might work over there but I imagine that they will protest this if they are forced to wear it. There will always be someone who has got a problem with something just to complicate things but it is how we managed these people and situations that make us better than them.

I hope to see more countries implementing this bracelet but I want it to be better first like answer questions to how they are going to charge it and how they are going to make people wear it. Let me know your thoughts on this bracelet idea is it good for the current situation in the world or should we find another solution.
