Yep, this is working great in Taiwan.

Before you get on the plane you need a negative test, but even then there is a mandatory 14 day quarantine. When you arrive you are required to have a SIM card. During quaratine, they track your device and call randomly one or twice a day to be sure your phone is on you. Breaking quarantine is a big fine (up to $33k USD) and there is a carrot if you complete quarantine without any incidents ($500 or something?). Individuals are provided quarantine housing if they can't pay but employers are expected to pay (e.g, workers from Indonesia).
