"Health Code" is a tracking and judging system for personal health information and activity information used for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19. Individuals declare online by themselves, and generate a personal QR code after background audit, which can be declared once as an individual in a certain area of the electronic certificate.
Function of health code
During the epidemic, people who intend to enter public places such as office areas, shopping malls, supermarkets, schools and living quarters must apply for "green codes" before entering. In addition, the background data of "health code" is updated in real time, which is a dynamic monitoring process. The color of "health code" will change according to personal health information and environmental exposure history.
Benefits of health codes
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, most people's daily lives have been inseparable from the health code. Whether you go in and out of public places every day or travel across regions when necessary, code scanning and coding are essential links. Health coding plays a very important technical role in the public health "combination boxing" to prevent and control epidemic situation in China. It can be said that without the Health Code, there would be no current epidemic prevention and control network, and it would be impossible to achieve "dynamic zero clearing" in China.
