Can I refuse to go onsite if they’re asking me to wear a tracking device?

I have a new remote job with XYZ pharmaceutical company but they will require me to be on site a few times a year, more often in order “to look good” to the hire ups. When on site, we need to wear a tracking device. They say it’s for Covid tracking, but they also don’t require masks or any kind of social distancing. Seems fishy and frankly I don’t want to willingly put a tracker on myself – I know my phone does that for me already in other ways, but not much I can do about that. Can I refuse without looking like a paranoid, difficult employee?
