Urban Renewal Authority in Hong Kong Launches #HealthCode on Staff
The Urban Renewal Authority (#URA) began a trial program of monitoring staff members’ whereabouts using the Health Code.
Wai Chi-Sing, Managing Director of the Bureau, revealed on his blog that their Population Census workers must install the “Infection Risk Reminder” application on their phone, and must put on electronic wristbands.
The application would warn them of entering premises with the risk of infection. When conducting home visits, they would display information on the app to the households, including their COVID-19 test results.
Wai explained that since the operation of the app on 9th October, 2020 about 110 staff members had installed, and more than 350 reminders had been issued. While some workers mocked the app and called it “URA’s health Code”, Wai stressed that the Bureau was developing a newer version, which allowed daily use and would “be available according to staff members’ will and need” by the end of November. Wai said that the itinerary recorded by the app would only be stored on individual phones, but not being sent to a central data base.
