The COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a global emergency, with terrible implications in terms of human life and economic decline. This lethal disease and its economic consequences have wreaked havoc on each and every section of the society. During the pandemic, government officials and businesses had to strike a balance between two competing priorities: public health and personal privacy. Some actions aimed at limiting the virus's transmission and maybe saving lives may have major human-rights consequences.

 While many public-health authorities do not necessitate data collecting, others may infringe on privacy concerns for people. Government authorities and businesses may find themselves on the horns of a dilemma, contemplating ways to stop the virus from spreading but also severely restricting the rights and freedoms of the people whose lives they aim to safeguard.
