What is the "Health Code" that we are using recently? Learn more in one article

As the return to work approaches, the epidemic prevention and control work has also reached a small climax.

However, how to quickly identify the health status of mobile personnel has become a difficult problem - many communities, highway toll stations, railway stations, airports and other checkpoints require passers-by to provide health certificates; due to differences in data collection methods and release standards, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Recently, there is a new solution to this problem, namely the "health code" being promoted by applications mainly based on Alipay and WeChat.

What is the health code?

Regarding the health code, Baidu explains it as follows:

The health code is based on real data. Citizens or people returning to work can apply online and generate a personal QR code after background review. The QR code serves as an electronic certificate for individuals to enter and exit the area, and one application is valid throughout the city.

In fact, the health code is a digital health assessment certificate first launched by Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province on February 11, which aims to digitize the pass and realize the three-color dynamic management of "green code, red code, and yellow code". In other words, the health code is a pass to enter the relevant cities and is applicable to all people in the relevant cities and those waiting to return.

The number of visits to Alipay reached 10 million on the first day of its launch, and it was subsequently promoted to other areas in Zhejiang Province.

In addition to Alipay, WeChat also responded quickly and launched the Tencent Health Code. The emergence of the health code has largely saved the tedious reporting work, reduced the possibility of cross-infection, and improved the efficiency of data collection.

Application method and entry

Specifically, Hangzhou residents and those who intend to enter Hangzhou can search for "Hangzhou Health Code" on the homepage of the Alipay APP and apply online. After filling in health, travel and other information, the data will be reviewed and a color code will be generated. People with green codes can pass with the code, and people with red and yellow codes need to be isolated and check in according to regulations. When the conditions are met, they will be converted to green codes.

It is understood that for other cities in Zhejiang Province, relevant departments have built a provincial "health code" management information system framework, and formulated specific code assignment rules and application methods according to local conditions. Considering that some companies have begun to resume work, the health code is also connected to the DingTalk enterprise resumption of work application platform.

From the application perspective, Tencent Health Code is no different from the health code launched by Alipay. Users also report their health information themselves and obtain a QR code that can show their health status.

However, the WeChat health code is mainly intended to provide convenience for data collectors (community grid workers, front-line traffic police, company/school managers). Information can be reported by scanning the code. This information will be summarized in real time to the data administrator side (such as government provincial, municipal, district, street and neighborhood committee hierarchical management personnel) for monitoring and management.

In order to be closer to the management scenarios of different organizations (government, enterprise, community), Tencent Health Code will be connected to multiple channels: WeChat applet (such as Guangzhou "Suikang", Shenzhen "Shen i You", etc.), enterprise WeChat, Haina community platform. Information from different channels is interconnected, and one person only needs to submit once.

The number of visits to Guangzhou's "Suikang" exceeded 170 million on the day it was launched, and the cumulative number of visits has exceeded 400 million. Nearly 5 million citizens have registered to use Shenzhen's "Shen i Ni" applet since its launch.

Nationalization of health codes

The number of people using health codes is increasing, and health codes are gradually becoming "national."

On February 16, Alipay officially announced that, drawing on the experience of Zhejiang and other places in implementing the health code model to assist in the classified and orderly resumption of work and production, under the guidance of the Office of Electronic Government of the General Office of the State Council, Alipay is accelerating the development of a nationwide unified epidemic prevention and control health code system based on the national integrated government service platform. The "National Health Code" will soon be launched.

On February 15, Tencent announced that the "Health Code Standard" jointly launched with the National Information Center has been officially recommended to various places as a technical standard specification, and is working with partners such as Oriental Golden Credit to accelerate its implementation across the country.

At present, Tencent has supported more than 100 central ministries and local government departments to launch epidemic service-related mini programs. Among them, the health self-examination and reporting function serves more than 100 million users and covers more than 700 million people. In addition to Guangdong, Tencent Health Code has been launched in many provinces such as Sichuan and Yunnan, as well as cities such as Dalian, Taizhou, Changzhou, and Ordos, and plans to launch it in more than 100 provinces and cities.

Among them, on February 16, the Sichuan Provincial Emergency Command Center for Responding to the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic also clearly stated that from February 17 until the end of the epidemic, those who need to work outside the city (state) or above can apply for health certificate services. In these areas, citizens only need to fill in their personal health status once on the corresponding WeChat applet and official account to obtain the health certificate, and can cope with various verification scenarios.
