Daejeon City Launches Pilot Operation of 'QR Code Electronic Entry Logs' at Clubs and Karaoke Venues

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 2nd that from the 2nd to the 8th, it will pilot the operation of a QR code-based electronic entry log at 14 high-risk facilities for COVID-19 cluster infections.

The pilot operation targets include ▲4 entertainment establishments such as clubs ▲2 each of libraries, general restaurants, and karaoke bars ▲3 singing practice rooms ▲1 movie theater.

When using the electronic entry log, visitor information and QR code visit records at the pilot sites are transmitted and stored on the QR code app operator’s server and the Social Security Information Service server, respectively, and the collected information is automatically destroyed after 4 weeks.

During the pilot operation period, if users refuse to use the QR code, the city will also allow facility managers to record visitor information manually by requesting ID verification.

This method is introduced as a measure to resolve problems (inaccurate entries and errors) that occurred while manually recording and managing visitor lists at entertainment facilities and other places.

After completing the pilot operation, the city plans to make the installation of electronic entry logs mandatory at all high-risk facilities in the jurisdiction starting from the 10th, and to encourage voluntary adoption at recommended facilities such as museums and churches.

Lee Kang-hyeok, Director of the Health and Welfare Bureau of the city, said, “Personal information stored in the electronic entry logs will only be used when epidemiological investigations are necessary and will be automatically destroyed after 4 weeks. We ask for active cooperation from facility owners and citizens as the purpose is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 cluster infections through smooth epidemiological investigations.”
