The couple traveled from her Yuhan s in Adelaide s, to attend an auction for one , before being diagnosed with coronavirus and isolated in hospital.

And the is in steady state and cooperate with state authorities to provide more about the places they visited in Adelaide.

In order to get a better picture of their movements in the area, the used a cell phone tracking system commonly used to track criminals.

The system requires nothing but a phone number and helps retrieve information such as data s that were collected every time the connected to a mobile phone antenna. This data is collected by mobile operators and has nothing to do with whether you have activated the gps system.

Under Australian law, mobile operators are required to collect this information and store it for two years. It is possible to deliver this data to the authorities after a legal order.
