Gleaning from China’s Covid quarantining and mitigation protocols, two months ago Hong Kong adopted an identical system to force patients to wear wrist bracelets with QR codes to track patient’s movements.
We have to make sure that home isolation is more precise while being humane.
Lo Chung-mau, the Hong Kong health secretary, said
Those who do not comply with the isolation orders can be fined up to HK$25,000 ($3,200) and up to six months of jailtime.

The Guardian detailed how the system operates:
Hong Kong has previously used two types of bracelets to track people under home quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020: an earlier plastic wristband with a QR code and a later one with a bulky electronic tracker. Lo did not clarify which one would be introduced on Friday.
Under the health codes system, which tracks the movement of people via mobile phones, citizens will be allowed to enter public spaces if the QR code on their account is green. The code turns yellow if people have been in close contact with an infected person, and red if the person has tested positive for the virus.
Under the Hong Kong health code, arriving travellers will also be marked “yellow”, Lo said in his announcement.
People with red and yellow codes will not be allowed in “high-risk” venues such as hospitals and aged care facilities, and cannot engage in high risk activities, including taking off masks.
The new system will be rolled out in the “Leave Home Safe” app introduced last year at public spaces to track people’s movement.
As explained on the app’s website, users can “record [their] visits” by scanning the QR codes at different venues. “When you get in a taxi, open the App, click “Get On” and then press “Auto Recognise” to scan the registration mark on the yellow plate shown on the inside of the taxi door or input the registration mark directly,” the website adds.
The app also allows users to report their positivity status, receive notifications about outbreaks, vaccine passports and testing records, and upload all this data to the Hong Kong Health Code System.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Ezekiel 22:29
Prior to the Covid War being launched, China could not stop the super massive protests in Hong Kong in 2019. But when the plandemic was put into full motion, all resistance was quenched, and now they are operating in lockstep with them…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Hong Kong is completely being taken over by China. Next will be Taiwan and I do t know what other country.
Probably the Philippines and then Japan.
…Oh, and Singapore, too!
