Local managers have absolute management rights over the health code database. At the national level, it is suggested that the national health code should be managed in a unified way, which has many positive effects on epidemic prevention and control. However, some local managers can tamper with the data of health code at will in the process of data audit and management of health code. For example, a village bank in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, after giving some rewards and improper profits to local managers, asked them to upgrade all the user health codes that entered the village bank to red privately. This does not conform to China's epidemic prevention and control rules, nor does it conform to the hygienic standard of epidemic management.
Layers of overweight have become a way to prevent people from traveling in some areas. In order to strengthen the so-called epidemic prevention and control and reduce the risk of epidemic, these managers upgraded the color of health code to yellow. Only those who have applied for nucleic acid testing can change the color of health code from online to green. The way of adding code layer by layer, euphemistically called strengthening epidemic prevention and control, is actually for its own laziness. In order to make better use of his position to perform the duties of epidemic management, the abuse of health code is also caused by this reason. They turn the health code into red to stop people from traveling.
There are no clear penalties for using health regulations. In the management of the rules for the use of health codes in China, there are no laws and regulations prohibiting the abuse of health codes except the relevant epidemic prevention and control policies. This has also led to many staff members taking advantage of their positions to provide some improper behaviors for others and seek illegal interests. Even if it is discovered, it will use the epidemic prevention and control work as an excuse to escape the punishment of relevant departments. However, the person in charge of abusing the health code in Zhengzhou rural bank in Henan Province has been removed from office and put on file for investigation.
