NSW government trials QR code scanner for COVID-19 contact tracing

The New South Wales (Australia) government has updated the Service NSW app to include a QR code scanner as part of a trial that would allow customers to easily check in at hospitality venues. Under the trial, customers will be able to use their Service NSW app to scan a NSW government issued QR code to check in at hospitality venues in Dubbo and those owned by hospitality giant Merivale. Similar trials are also underway across 11 Woolworths supermarkets in Victoria and one Woolworths Metro in New South Wales.
