Just out of interest do the other states have the covid sign in at all the shops ? NSW have this QR code that you sign in . It works pretty well but a Press conference today the Premier and chief MO were stressing more to do it to assist with track and trace . I guess there’ll be the conspiracy theorists but I find it pretty simple and appreciate I’ll get a text or call if someone infected has been where I was
QLD Gov only just recently released the official QR code.
But you have to have their app installed on your device for it to work.
Only a few places around here are using it though. Most places have their own code that like Bird said, just takes you to a website that you have to manually log yourself in.
They all ask for heaps and heaps of details and take a good 5 minutes or so to fill out. Even worse if you have a few people from the same house hold to sign in to the venue.
Most of these ones only have a sign in page, no option to sign out when you leave.
I still can’t believe that in 2021 (after over a year of lockdowns and tracing efforts) we can’t have one national QR code.
You scan the code when entering and it automatically registers the time date and the phone number of the device used to scan in. Then scan the same code when you leave and it logs the same data and records your exit.
Then if they need to do contact tracing they just push a message to every phone number that was in the area of an infected person. You just get a text message telling you to go get tested.
Not sure about other states, but here after getting tested we get a text message to say we’re all clear and they ask you to reply with the number 1 to confirm you received the message.
This should be really simple and I can’t believe we still have such a manual registration and contact tracing system nationally.
