b'As many states begin the process of reopening, security experts are turning their attention to the issue of maintaining the privacy of people who\\u2019ve been infected with the virus, as well as those who they\\u2019ve had contact with. South Korea, Taiwan and Israel are using smartphones to track those infected to better enforce quarantines and ID those in close proximity to the infected person.
