Contacts with carriers of coronavirus will be tracked by a special system

To create a tracking system for citizens who were in contact with carriers of the coronavirus, the Ministry of Communications was charged with Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The system should be launched before March 27, the government website says.

It should use the data of mobile operators on the geolocation of subscribers, it is written in the plan of anti-epidemic measures published by the government. The system should provide for the possibility of notifying citizens about contacts with carriers of the virus – data on these contacts will also be sent to regional headquarters to combat the epidemic.

The Ministry of Communications is conducting work in accordance with the order, the representative of the ministry says, but does not provide any details. None of the authorities currently has a system that combines medical data and data from mobile operators, said Ivan Begtin, director of ANO Infoculture. Most likely, one of the subordinate institutions of the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the FSB, or one of the operators, will implement the system, he said.

Employees of the two mobile operators claim that they have not yet received any orders from the ministry and cannot suggest what kind of subscriber data they will have to transfer to the state.
