Digital health code for Hubei people ensures work resumption conducted in order

Hubei is promoting the digital health code to serve as a certificate for those
returning to work or life in other parts of China. The country is also
encouraging more provincial regions to recognize the Hubei health code.
On Thursday, 1,631 migrant workers arrived at South China's Guangdong
Province from Jingzhou, Hubei. They will work in 898 Guangdong
companies.
A total of 40,000 Hubei people will return to work in Guangdong by using the
health code, the CNR reported.
The Baiyun district of Guangzhou was the first to announce recognition of the
Hubei health code on March 16. Hubei people with a green code do not need
to be quarantined and tested when returning to Baiyun.
People can apply for the health code through online platforms. They need to
fill in basic information such as their ID number, mobile phone number and
detailed address. Then they answer questions that evaluated whether they
have risks of COVID-19 infection.
Afterward, applicants are given red, yellow or green codes, which show the
risk of them to be infected with the COVID-19. The green code means the
lowest risk.
More regions are accepting the Hubei health code. For instance, Hangzhou,
capital city of East China's Zhejiang Province, announced that Hubei people
with a green code do not need to be quarantined upon arriving in Hangzhou
and can start their work immediately.
People from other regions entering Hubei can also apply for the health code.
Those with a "green code" could travel inside Hubei, the province announced
Thursday.
The idea of a health code was first developed and realized in Hangzhou by
platforms attached to Alibaba, including Alipay and DingTalk, according to the
CNR.
The Yuhang district of Hangzhou first released the health code policy on
February 7, which was promoted to 200 cities in two weeks.
