Health Codes (Chinese mobile app group)
Health Codes is a mobile application developed by a Chinese mobile app group to assist in the management of public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The app is designed to track and display the health status of individuals using a color-coded system.
Features[edit | edit source]
The Health Codes app uses a color code system to indicate the health status of users:
- Green: Indicates that the user is healthy and has not been in contact with any COVID-19 cases.
- Yellow: Suggests that the user may have been in contact with a suspected case and should monitor their health.
- Red: Indicates that the user is a confirmed case or has been in close contact with a confirmed case and should be in quarantine.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The app is widely used in China to control the spread of COVID-19 by allowing authorities to quickly identify and isolate potential cases. Users are required to show their health code when entering public spaces, such as shopping malls, public transport, and workplaces.
Privacy Concerns[edit | edit source]
There have been concerns about the privacy and data security of the Health Codes app. Critics argue that the app collects sensitive personal data and that there is a lack of transparency about how this data is used and stored.
