Victorian officials concerned about QR code compliance

Jeroen Weimar, head of contact tracing in Victoria, said that as the authorities scramble to identify close contacts of the two COVID-19 clusters, he is concerned about reduced compliance with the QR code system. After the state’s recent lockdown, health officials came under fire, and they questioned the state’s delay in implementing a unified registration system. “We are increasingly concerned about low-level compliance, so people don’t check any systems that are being used,” Mr. Weimar said. “We opened it up at the end of last year and stated that we need to make sure we have a good QR code system. Many companies have come forward and run a different system. We allow it and we pay close attention to it. “When we started When seeing that performance is not what we need, we now have to conclude based on the evidence we see that migrating to a system is a more powerful way to do so, and this is what we are doing now. “I am worried that some people have not yet registered. This is what we need to focus on now.”
