Hanoi deploys QR code scanner at COVID-19 checkpoints
Hanoi has introduced specialized cameras to scan the QR code on medical declarations and travel permits at checkpoints on the gateways to the city.
The effort is expected to minimize close contacts between citizens and officials on duty, reducing the risk of community infection, contributing to epidemic control.
At a checkpoint on Phap Van - Cau Gie highway, a QR code scanning camera system has been installed by the Police Department for Administrative Management of Social Order.
The camera system was installed on September 13 by the Police Department for Administrative Management of Social Order in coordination with the Municipal Police Department of Hanoi.
The camera system is attached to a fence where drivers and people can easily reach and have their QR code scanned. The camera is connected to a computer so police officers can check the information of the traffic participants from afar.
The officers at the checkpoint also instruct people how to make online medical declarations and get their QR codes from App Store, Google Play or website suckhoe.dancuquocgia.gov.vn.
