QR code playing bigger role for Shanghai residents

Shanghai is to promote use of the health QR code in more areas of residents’ daily life, government officials said on Thursday.

The health code on the Suishenban app was launched in February as part of the prevention and control of COVID-19, a green pass for public areas such as airports, hospitals and office buildings.

So far, the health code has been used for over 1.2 billion times by more than 34 million users. About 232,000 users are from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and abroad.
