Data privacy concerns over Thailand’s COVID-19 contact tracing app amid new wave of cases
There have been concerns over data privacy in Thailand’s COVID-19 contact tracing app, as the country battles a new wave of infections.
Despite these challenges, the authorities are trying to encourage more people to use the app, including via efforts to protect personal information.
Since mid-December, Thailand has reported more than 14,000 new cases from several clusters, following months of zero local transmissions. In total, there are now more than 23,000 confirmed cases in the country.
