EDSB-Reaktion auf den COVID-19-Ausbruch
"Der Ausbruch von Covid-19 beeinflusst unser Leben in einem beispiellosen Tempo. Er testet die Widerstandsfähigkeit unserer Gesellschaften, wenn wir auf diese globale Krise reagieren und versuchen, ihre Folgen sowohl kurz- als auch langfristig einzudämmen.“ Wojciech Wiewiórowski, Europäischer Datenschutzbeauftragter
Der Ausbruch von Covid-19 testet auch die Grundrechte auf Datenschutz und Privatsphäre. EU-Mitgliedstaaten, EU-Institutionen und Big Tech-Unternehmen versuchen, Lösungen zur Bekämpfung der unkontrollierten Ausbreitung des Virus zu finden.
In den letzten Wochen sind Kontaktverfolgungs-Apps und Datenlokalisierung zu einem ständigen Thema auf der politischen Agenda der Union geworden. Solche Technologien können schwerwiegende Folgen für das Leben der EU-Bürger haben und zu wachsenden Ungleichheiten führen.
Der EDSB arbeitet mit den EU-Institutionen und dem Europäischen Datenschutzausschuss zusammen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Grundrechte respektiert werden.
Infolgedessen haben wir eine Covid-19-Task Force eingerichtet, um die Entwicklungen zu verfolgen und uns auf die Zukunft des Datenschutzes und der Privatsphäre nach der Covid-19-Krise vorzubereiten.
EDSB-Aktivitäten und Aktionsplan
Als Reaktion auf den COVID-19-Ausbruch hat der EDSB beschlossen, seinen Betriebskontinuitätsplan zu aktivieren. Alle EDSB-Mitarbeiter sind seit dem 13. März 2020 in Telearbeit.

This year's event wasn't immune to the COVID-19 pandemic currently occurring. Consequently the place of the event, which initially was planned to be held in Mexico City, had to be changed to a virtual setting, making it the first time that such an occasion was organized online.

Orientations from the EDPS: Body temperature checks by EU institutions in the context of the COVID-19 crisis
A number of European institutions, agencies and bodies (EUIs) have implemented body temperature checks as part of the health and safety measures adopted in the context of their “return to the office” strategy as an appropriate complementary measure, among other necessary health and safety measures, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 contamination.
At the same time, systematic body temperature checks of staff and other visitors to filter access to EUIs premises may constitute an interference into individuals’ rights to private life and/or personal data protection. The EDPS observes that body temperature checks can be implemented through a variety of devices and processes that should be subject to careful assessment. The EDPS has decided to issue the present orientations to help EUIs and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (the Regulation), where applicable.
