As various regions have successively announced full opening up, people's lives are gradually getting back on track. They no longer have to do nucleic acid tests and check green codes every day. This greatly facilitates travel and life, but it also Let some people worry about gains and losses.
On the 12th, the "Communication Itinerary Card" announced on the official account: Starting from 0:00 on the 13th, the Communication Itinerary Card service will be officially offline simultaneously on the relevant inquiry channels. This announcement marks the withdrawal of the communication itinerary that has affected our lives for three years from the stage of history.
1. The offline communication itinerary card
The communication itinerary card has been put into use since the beginning of 2020. This is produced to promote the resumption of work and production nationwide and ensure the health of corporate employees. Proof of a free trip. This electronic itinerary card can provide users with free inquiries on areas visited within 14 days.
Because the query operation is simple and not subject to regional restrictions, the communication itinerary card immediately became the main epidemic prevention tool in various places. According to statistics, the electronic itinerary card began to provide related free services to 1.6 billion mobile phone users across the country 16 days after it went online.
In November 2020, the itinerary card once again launched new functions, with red labels, green labels and other logos appearing. People can use the signs to confirm whether the other person has traveled to medium- and high-risk areas, but the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also reminded at that time: the red marks are only used as travel reminders.
With the promotion of epidemic prevention work in various regions, the red mark on the itinerary card has been changed to an asterisk mark. It can be said that the emergence of the itinerary card has greatly reduced the difficulty of epidemic prevention, and at the same time provided convenience for users. When traveling to another city, they no longer have to rush around to obtain visa certificates.
In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that it would cancel the asterisk mark on itinerary cards. In July, the query range of itinerary cards was adjusted to be able to query records within 7 days. On December 12, the itinerary communication card official issued a statement stating that it would thoroughly implement mask prevention and control measures, scientifically and accurately carry out epidemic prevention work, and related services would be officially offline on the 13th.
After the itinerary card that has been accompanying everyone for nearly three years was taken offline, many netizens posted screenshots to commemorate it. But at the same time, what everyone is more concerned about is: Now that the itinerary card has been offline, will the health code be offline?
2. Will the health code be offline?
During the mask period, for better control and prevention, various regions have launched local health codes in different cities. Since the emergence of masks, the health code has been a QR code that is bound to a risk index. By simply viewing the QR code, you can query the user's personal health information changes and environmental exposure history.
However, with the introduction of the "New 10 Articles", it is required that nucleic acid reports and health codes can no longer be checked for people traveling across regions, indicating that the country is now gradually liberalizing. But for some special places, they may still be susceptible to infection by masks.
Especially for some elderly people and children, these groups have weak resistance. Once infected, the recovery period may be prolonged, and during the prolonged recovery process, it will cause damage to the body's organs. It will have certain effects and may even be life-threatening.
For the safety of this group of people, all regions should not completely remove health codes at present, but continue to play the role of health codes and implement slightly stricter controls on this group of people. Since the virus has not disappeared yet, potential risks also need to be taken into consideration. So from these perspectives, the health code will not be discontinued.
3. Experts call for the health code to be transformed
The launch of the health code has facilitated people’s lives to a certain extent. For this reason, some experts have also called for the health code to be transformed. . From the previous control of residents to the provision of relevant services to residents, what exactly is going on? What are the future directions?
Experts give an example. Now that everyone is becoming more and more proficient in using health codes, health codes can be applied in the medical field and become a kind of identity certificate. For example, if you want to make an appointment online or pay for medicine, you can do so through the health code.
After all, although hospitals in many cities have launched online registration services, due to different registration requirements in different hospitals, it is inconvenient for some elderly people. If the problems in the medical field can be solved, it will naturally be able to play a role. greater effect.
In addition to medical services, it can also be used as an electronic transportation card.
For example, Shanghai has proposed that after the masks are used up, the "Suishen Code" will be converted into a personal electronic ID card for citizens. This code can be used to take public transport, go out to do errands, enter and exit museums, etc. Perhaps there will be more in the future. Far extension.
4. Summary
However, because some citizens in some places are forcibly given red codes, this situation makes people have to wonder whether the health code is really safe? Will there be any leakage of personal privacy? You must know that the emergence of health codes was prepared to deal with masks, but with the normalization of anti-epidemic, the specific purpose of health codes has been blurred, and there is probably no room for use.
