The close contacts under self-quarantine are linked to their one-on-one assigned government staff through an innovative ‘safety protection app,’ which allows the staff to monitor their symptoms twice a day, and be alerted when self-quarantine orders are broken. This tracking of the phone’s GPS location is done only with the consent of the close contacts.

Those under self-isolation are banned from leaving the country regardless of whether or not they develop symptoms. Those violating self-isolation will be imposed with a fine of KRW 10 million or less, or imprisonment for one year or less.

In order to monitor contacts under quarantine, Korea have developed this 'Self Quarantine Safety Protection App'.
