In order to reduce the public’s proximity to the source of pneumonia in Wuhan, the “Travel Safe” mobile application was launched one and a half months ago, only 67,000 places participated, about 400,000 people downloaded, and only 5.3% of the population of Hong Kong, was asked whether the lukewarm response reflects the public’s distrust of the government, Secretary for Innovation and Technology Sit eternal appeal to the public He urged the public not to focus on the issue of “participation means trust in the government and non-participation means distrust”. In addition, he did not think that privacy concerns would hinder the public’s vaccination program against the virus.
As for the Chief Executive Carrie Lam said before the month, if necessary in the future, will be the current voluntary download of the “peace of mind travel” two-dimensional code plan to mandatory download program, Xue eternal this (26) morning after attending a radio program, said, not because of poor response to download and mandatory public download, mandatory installation or not, depending on the development of the epidemic, in the case of unknown development of the epidemic to decide whether to force the public to install, both unscientific, but also does not meet the actual needs.
Since last year’s anti-amendment campaign, Hong Kong people have become increasingly distrustful of the Hong Kong government, worried that the plan is part of the monitoring of freedom of movement, and some Hong Kong people even consciously take a non-cooperative attitude towards the government’s plan, in addition to the “My Home Purchase Plan”, some people are now beginning to worry about the electronic needle card program to be launched early next year in response to the Wuhan pneumonia virus vaccination, when asked When asked whether they would be worried that people would be reluctant to get vaccinated because of the privacy concerns involved in the electronic needle card, Sit eternal said that there is no such consideration. He stressed that the main purpose of providing the electronic needle card vaccine reservation system is to facilitate the public to receive vaccination in an “orderly and effective” manner, and called on Hong Kong people to make concerted use of different methods and technologies to fight the epidemic.
The vaccine appointment and related electronic needle card system, which will be completed early next year, will record when people receive that vaccine and store the relevant data in the central record system of the Hospital Authority and the Department of health, and through the appointment system to allow people to make complementary arrangements for vaccination time, said Sit eternal, is considering allowing family members who accompany the elderly to receive vaccinations together.
The Hong Kong government launched a mobile application “travel safe” last month 16, let the participating stores to download, and will be related to the QR code posted at the entrance of the store, has downloaded the program people can also use their cell phones to scan the QR code, and then if the diagnosed person is found to have visited the relevant places at the relevant time, the people who have entered the places will receive a notification The program is designed to allow for testing. Although government officials have been emphasizing that the program will only store people’s travel records in encrypted form on their cell phones and will not be disseminated, many people are still worried that the program cannot protect privacy and may help the government to set up a monitoring system, just like the social credit system in mainland China, so only 100,000 people downloaded it in the first week, and the response was far from satisfactory. On the 11th of this month, the authorities announced to update the “MyTravel” program, so that those who download it can access their personal travel records, which again raised the question of privacy intrusion.
