Pingyao applies site code to control virus spread

Pingyao county in North China's Shanxi province recently promoted the application of a site code to further improve the normalized and precise prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The site code is a proprietary QR code assigned to key public places that identifies the location, name and other basic information about the place, and is helpful for early warning systems and refined flow adjustment during the pandemic period.

The site code is an important way to verify the health status of residents and effectively record the trajectory of their movements.

Pingyao has made site codes for 38 types of public places, including banks, farmers' markets, hotels, guesthouses, shopping malls, supermarkets, enterprises and institutions, and 4,700 code scanning sites have been set up.
