The government said Saturday that it will use electronic bracelets to tack people who violate self-isolation rules to better contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said the country will make those who break self-isolation regulations wear the bracelets as the number of cases of people breaching self-quarantine in recent weeks has raised concern. "After much consideration, the government has decided to put electronic bracelets on people who violate self-isolation rules, such as going outside without notice and not answering phone calls," Chung said during a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters in Seoul.
