If the daily contrast check list matches, it will turn to red and the negative result of the strong check will return to normal
The number of confirmed cases has reached more than 600 recently. There were 672 cases yesterday, compared with 499 cases last Friday (3rd) and 250 cases on May 27th two weeks ago.
Some members of the Legislative Council worry that the sixth wave will break out soon, and propose that technology should be taken as soon as possible to add a "color change" reminder function for "safe travel".
The member pointed out that "Travel With Peace of Mind" records the date and time of citizens entering and exiting places such as restaurants. For example, after comparing the government's daily update of the mandatory inspection notice, citizens need to go to designated locations for nucleic acid testing. The two-dimensional "Travel With Peace of Mind" system The code will automatically turn red, and it will automatically turn to normal color when there is a negative result in the strong test.
E-Back has adopted relevant technologies and does not involve privacy issues
He said that the relevant technology has already been adopted on the "Return to Hong Kong", and the normal pass of Return to Hong Kong is green, but when the holder is not eligible, such as failing to present a valid negative nucleic acid test certificate, the QR code will turn pink. , I think it is not difficult to apply this technology in "Travel with Peace of Mind".
As for the public's concerns about the privacy issues involved in adding the tracking function to "Travel With Peace of Mind", the Member quoted the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Chung Lai-ling, as stating that if the tracking function is added for public or social interest-related health matters, it can be exempted.
In fact, the "color change" function is suggested to compare the "Safe Travel" record with the list of places that need to be inspected. If they match, it will turn to red, and it will not track the places the user has visited before and after, that is, no tracking is required. Function.
Members of Parliament believe that if the "color change" function is installed in "Travel with Peace of Mind", restaurants will insist on not allowing customers who are displayed in red to enter the restaurant in order to prevent the spread of the virus in the store, which can vigorously block the broadcast chain.

In order to avoid transmission, the restaurant does not allow entry materials to greatly reduce the transmission chain
The lawmaker was worried that when the fifth wave broke out at the beginning of the year, the antibody levels of the infected citizens began to decline. Recently, there have been cases of secondary infection. There are various signs that the sixth wave may break out soon.
He also quoted Leung Cheuk-wai, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, warning in mid-May that there would be a sixth wave of the epidemic in a short period of time. Each person can infect about 1.76 people), that is, the number of words can grow exponentially!"
The lawmaker believes that it is not difficult to revise "Travel With Peace of Mind", and the epidemic is imminent, and the practice of displaying different colors of "Travel With Peace of Mind" can greatly reduce the transmission chain.
"It's not about being fined or imprisoned by the government, but if the "QR code" is red, restaurants won't dare to let you in, because they're afraid of spreading the word."
