The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life as we knew it. Lockdowns,
self-isolation and quarantine have become a normal part of everyday
life. Pandemic surveillance allows governments and corporations to
monitor and surveil the spread of the virus and to make sure
citizens follow the measures they put in place. This is evident in
the massive, unprecedented mobilization of public health data to
contain and combat the virus, and the ballooning of surveillance
technologies such as contact-tracing apps, facial recognition, and
population tracking. This can also be seen as a pandemic of
surveillance. In this timely book, David Lyon tracks the
development of these methods, examining different forms of pandemic
surveillance, in health-related and other areas, from countries
around the world. He explores their benefits and disadvantages,
their legal status, and how they relate to privacy protection, an
ethics of care, and data justice. Questioning whether this new
culture of surveillance will become a permanent feature of
post-pandemic societies and the long-term negative effects this
might have on social inequalities and human freedoms, Pandemic
Surveillance highlights the magnitude of COVID-19-related
surveillance expansion. The book also underscores the urgent need
for new policies relating to surveillance and data justice in the
twenty-first century.
