The fifth wave of the epidemic is out of control, and Chief Executive Carrie Lam also pointed out last Tuesday (8th) that everyone must use "Safe Travel" when entering listed places such as shopping malls from February 24th. Some citizens are worried that some restaurants and The supermarket is located in the shopping mall. When you leave the premises and return to the shopping mall to scan the code, you will be prosecuted for not scanning the shopping mall's "Safe Travel" code.
The Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Mr. Xue Yongjin, said in the Legislative Council meeting (14th) that he is working on ways to allow citizens who enter the supermarket or restaurant in the mall to scan the QR code of the mall as soon as possible after leaving without having to return to the entrance of the mall. "Safe Travel" has automatic function or simple method to confirm.
Xue also pointed out that the Vaccine Pass has more obvious advantages than the real-name system of "Travel with Peace of Mind". If citizens are not good at mobile phones, they can use the paper needle card as a record, and they can also promote vaccination: "Simply put, we do not need the real-name system to travel with peace of mind, and use vaccines. The passport has been tracked by real name, so it can be used for epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic purposes.”
▼On February 13, Mongkok Sino Center continued to require people to scan and travel with peace of mind▼
Earlier, the government included places of worship, shopping malls, department stores, supermarkets, markets or bazaars, and barbershops or hair salons as scheduled premises under "Chapter 599F".
At the same time, the Vaccine Pass took effect on February 10 at D-type restaurants, causing public misunderstandings and confusion. Many shopping malls, including the Mong Kok Sino Centre, have recently required citizens to scan "Safe Travel" before entering.
Guan Haoming, a member of the Legislative Council Election Committee, pointed out in the Legislative Council meeting that if citizens go to restaurants and supermarkets in shopping malls, they have to scan and leave the premises many times during the process of "safe travel", which will cause inconvenience; citizens are also worried about random inspections by law enforcement agencies After breaking the law, check with the authorities whether they will consider improving the process.
Xue Yongyan set up a simple method in "Safe Travel" to facilitate access to shopping malls, restaurants and supermarkets
The Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Xue Yongheng, responded that he had observed that "safe travel" needs to be upgraded to facilitate the public.
He revealed that the authorities are studying that citizens who enter the supermarket or restaurant in the mall can scan the QR code of the mall as soon as possible after leaving, instead of returning to the entrance of the mall to scan the code, such as setting up an automatic function or simple method for confirmation in "Safe Travel".
Try to make it as convenient as possible for the people. When you go to a certain place in the shopping mall, there is a convenient way to confirm the exit and return. When they don't need to go to the return entrance to scan the code.
Secretary for Innovation and Technology Xue Yongheng
Xue also pointed out that related technologies are currently being developed, and the details will be announced later: "Simply put, try to make it as convenient as possible for the people. When everyone goes to a certain place in the shopping mall, there is a convenient way to confirm it. , and wait until they don't need to go back to the entrance to scan the code."
Fang Baoqiao Information "Travel with peace of mind" or add the function of leaving, you can choose to return to the previous place
Regarding the automatic function mentioned by Xue Yongheng, Fang Baoqiao, honorary president of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, analyzed that it is difficult to accurately confirm the distance with current technology, and it may automatically record people in nearby places.
Therefore, he estimates that the authorities will add a new departure function to "Travel with Peace of Mind". If citizens leave the supermarket or restaurant in the shopping mall, they can choose to return to the previous premises without having to scan the QR code at the entrance of the shopping mall.

Xue Yongheng can be tracked in real name by recognizing the vaccine pass: better than the real-name system when traveling with peace of mind
Guan Haoming then asked when the real-name system of "Travel with Peace of Mind" will be launched. Xue Yongheng responded that the authorities are very concerned about how to use technology to track the epidemic, and the upcoming vaccine passport can also achieve real-name tracking.
He explained that since citizens have registered with their real names and provided contact information when they are vaccinated, when they show the vaccine pass when they enter the premises, their arrival time and personal information will be recorded by the premises.
If it is later found that a confirmed patient visited at the same time, the CHP's Tracking Office will take the initiative to identify the group of citizens through the records of the premises.
Xue also pointed out that the benefits of the vaccine pass are more obvious than the real-name system of "travel with peace of mind".
He further explained that, "Traveling with peace of mind" requires citizens to scan the QR code, but only about 100,000 premises in Hong Kong have QR codes. .
We do not need a real-name system to travel with peace of mind. We have achieved real-name tracking with the vaccine pass, which is used for epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic purposes.
The Vaccine Pass has more obvious benefits than the real-name system of "Travel with Peace of Mind". If citizens do not use mobile phones without authorization, they can record with a paper needle card, and can also promote vaccination.
Secretary for Innovation and Technology Xue Yongheng
Xue also pointed out that in addition to mobile phones, the vaccine pass can also be recorded on a paper needle card, and it can also promote vaccination.
However, if the real-name system for "Safe Travel" is introduced, it will involve processes such as registration and data storage, which will require the cooperation of the public and will take a long time.
"Simply put, we don't need a real-name system to travel with peace of mind. We have already achieved real-name tracking with the vaccine pass, which can be used for epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic purposes."
Citizens must show the "Safety" code and the needle card to the merchant's mobile phone, and if they hear two "dong dong" sounds, it means they have been vaccinated.
