Summary

We now live in a world where we can obtain current information about a global pandemic from our smartphones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.1 The recent novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is not just a public health emergency. The pandemic has forced us to further evaluate the extent to which privacy should give way to public health threats and resulting technological innovations.2 It directly raises questions about whether legal frameworks governing our privacy should be relaxed to address public health concerns, and if any such relaxation will continue post pandemic to permanently undermine our privacy.3
