Razna su tumačenja izašla posljednjih dana što se smije a što ne kad je u pitanju provođenje mjera prevencije i zaustavljanja širenja zaraze koronavirusom.
EDPB, European Data Protection Board, kao središnje EU tijelo za zaštitu podataka, je riječima predsjednice dao svoje službeno stajalište, dostupno na ovom linku:

Prenosimo u cijelosti originalnu izjavu na engleskom, da izbjegnemo bilo kakva dodatna tumačenja:
"The GDPR is a broad legislation and also provides for the rules to apply to the processing of personal data in a context such as the one relating to COVID-19.
Indeed, the GDPR provides for the legal grounds to enable the employers and the competent public health authorities to process personal data in the context of epidemics, without the need to obtain the consent of the data subject.
This applies for instance when the processing of personal data is necessary for the employers for reasons of public interest in the area of public health or to protect vital interests (Art. 6 and 9 of the GDPR) or to comply with another legal obligation."
