Recovered QR code will expire Electronic needle card without diagnosis record Hotline staff: mistakes are not uncommon
[07:00] The fifth wave of the epidemic that broke out at the beginning of this year has accumulated more than one million people infected. The validity period of the QR code of the recovered person held by many people is about to expire. Therefore, after completing the three-shot vaccination, it is reasonable to say that they can meet the requirements for entering restaurants and listed premises after completing the renewal of the electronic injection card.
However, recently, a group of citizens who did not report when they contracted the virus and were subsequently issued a certificate of recovery by the Department of Health found that the identity of the recovered patients was not "recognized" on the system, and they could not update their needle cards.
"Hong Kong 01" has recently received complaints from a number of recovered patients who later reported the infection. Although the "QR code for recovered patients" has been issued earlier, when they downloaded the electronic needle card from the official website recently, the column of whether they had contracted the virus was displayed. However, it wrote "No", and when the official "Verification QR Code Scanner" was used to scan the needle card, it turned red, which means that it did not meet the requirements of the "Vaccine Pass", which means that the recovered person is in his "Recovered Person II". After the QR code expires, they will no longer be able to enter restaurants and other premises.
"Hong Kong 01" has made enquiries to the Medical and Health Bureau, the Department of Health and the Office of the Director of Information Technology.
The Department of Health and the OGCIO stated that they are investigating and reviewing the electronic needle card system, but so far they have not found whether the system or the database is faulty, and they have not explained what group of recovered patients the needle card error involves. They only appeal to citizens with similar problems. You can call the Department of Health's hotline for assistance.
