TEL AVIV: Israel's defence ministry plans to use software that analyses data gathered from mobile phones - produced, according to Israeli media, by the spyware firm NSO - to help locate likely carriers of the coronavirus in order to test them.
Defence Minister Naftali Bennett told reporters that the "coronameter" would need approval from the cabinet - likely to be given - as well as an assessment of privacy issues from the attorney general, who has the power to block it.
