Citizens being tracked to map Corona spread

We all know the technologies of Google to track your location history.
The register reports that governements are deploying these technologies to track where people infected with corona where before and with whomm they had contact.
China has such a system in place and Iran is reportedly doing the same.
The Israeli caretaker government also has enabled this, without consent from parliament or the relevant committees. The data are under strict oversight and limited to thirty days.
In America the Trump administration is talking to Google and Facebook to supply these data.
Governments all over the world are eagerly taking the opportunity to  overrule privacy rights of citizens.
