From Susan Landau on efficacy of location tracking for coronavirus: "Some govt officials believe the location info that phones can provide will be useful in the current crisis...But such thinking ignores the reality of how phone-tracking technology works." https://www.lawfareblog.com/location-surveillance-counter-covid-19-efficacy-what-matters …
I respectfully but strongly disagree with Landau's conclusions here. Once cases are few and testing is widely available, even low-resolution contact tracing will be invaluable.

I don't think this is true, but the way to resolve it is a technical discussion with epidemiologists (hopefully already under way) about the tools available on the tracking side. This debate will be a lot more useful if we're talking about specific proposals
