Chong Mao once pointed out that the "yellow code" will be extended to close contacts
The government was due to announce the "red and yellow code" system on Friday, but it is understood that due to "technical problems", it was temporarily suspended.
Earlier, Lu Chongmao pointed out that the "red and yellow code" system will be implemented in two phases. The first phase of the yellow code only includes hotel quarantine persons. The goal is to allow the number of days for hotel quarantine to be appropriately shortened. Yellow code persons can go to work and school, but not Participating in high-risk activities, or entering and leaving restaurants and other premises where masks are not required; after citizens adapt, the yellow code will be expanded to cover close contacts at home and other people.
As for the red code, it will be issued at the same time as the government sends out the acid test results to the confirmed patients to identify patients who are isolated at home in the community.
Lu Chongmao, director of the Medical and Health Bureau, said earlier that the yellow code will be expanded to cover people who have close contacts at home.

Fang Baoqiao: Close contacts cannot issue yellow codes without internet access on their mobile phones
Fang Baoqiao raised some concerns about the measures for the "technical problem" that stopped the announcement of the details of the "red and yellow codes".
He said that at present, before entering a restaurant, citizens are required to scan the pin card at the "authentication QR code scanner" of the restaurant.
Under the new measures, he pointed out that if the phone of the close contacts is set to the airplane mode for a long time, their safe travel will not be updated to the red and yellow codes. Therefore, when each diner scans the pin card, the device of the restaurant must be connected. to the government database for verification of the card.

During busy hours or over a million people dine-in, worry about the traffic jam of the check system
Fang estimates that under the current situation of about 5,000 confirmed cases per day, it is believed that the number of close contacts is quite large, and the government tracing office must identify close contacts in a timely manner every day, and update the database to avoid fish slipping through the net.
He continued that although the authorities may conduct stress tests or expand the system capacity before introducing new measures, over a million people go out to dine out at any time during peak hours, worrying that the system will not be able to load, and citizens may have delays in scanning the needle card , the situation is like a credit card machine. When paying with a credit card during busy hours, it may take tens of seconds to complete the transaction. He said bluntly: "Hundreds of thousands of people use it at the same time, and there will be traffic jams. It's really hard to say." He also pointed out that the devices used in some restaurants, or the Wi-Fi connected to shopping malls, also affected the speed of the Internet.
