A new attack method named COVID-bit uses electromagnetic waves to transmit data from air-gapped systems, which are isolated from the internet, over a distance of at least two meters (6.5 ft), where it's captured by a receiver.

The information emanating from the isolated device could be picked up by a nearby smartphone or laptop, even if a wall separates the two.

I was a bit surprised that one of the mitigation strategies was not adding EM / RF shielding to air-gapped systems.

Yep..

No fancy Faraday cage needed,
Just some simple, cheap EM field shielding.
