Privacy VS Pandemic Control
Disease surveillance is on the rise in India, but what are the privacy implications for citizens?
It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation for *Divya and her family. Her initial plan was to travel to New Zealand during February, however, as reports of coronavirus started coming out of China, the trip was pushed back to March. Before leaving on her long-awaited journey, Divya consulted several doctors to ensure that her two children would be safe. She was given the green light from five doctors, including a paediatrician, and departed as planned. However, by the time the family of four reached New Zealand, the state of world health had changed. Upon returning to India, the family’s hands were stamped by authorities at the airport before they were put under quarantine. It wasn’t only the isolation that Divya was unprepared for; it was the public shaming.
“People looked at us as if we…were carriers of the coronavirus.” The negativity started with the owner of her rented house, who lived on the first floor. “He told us to vacate the house and asked us not to touch the gate. We were unfairly shamed to the point that I couldn’t take it anymore,” recalls Divya, who moved into her mom’s house. But, soon, her mom’s neighbours started calling and complaining. “I couldn’t even go to the terrace, because people would start banging doors and windows because they thought we would pass on the infection to them. We faced a lot of discrimination.”
