Toss "Check the COVID-19 Quarantine Pass on Toss QR"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Toss announced on the 3rd that it will provide a new QR vaccination certificate (quarantine pass) service.

The new QR service, launched in line with the introduction of the quarantine pass by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, allows users to check the status of the 3rd vaccination (booster), the elapsed period after the 2nd vaccination (1st for Janssen), and more. In particular, the QR screen displays a message stating "Vaccination completed, 00 days elapsed," enabling users to plan their booster shot before the quarantine pass validity period (from 14 days after vaccination up to 180 days) expires.

Recovery certificates and exemption certificates (for medical reasons exempting vaccination), which were previously only available in paper form, can now be verified through QR check-in without paper certificates. Previously, the existing QR only allowed viewing of vaccination history up to the 2nd dose for entry verification purposes.

Users can immediately use the new QR service by simply updating the Toss app.

Although the quarantine pass is currently in a guidance period, Toss has opened the service to all users so that more people can quickly experience the new QR check-in service. For fast and convenient access to multi-use facilities, users can easily use the QR check-in service from the top of the first screen after launching the app, and a widget function is also provided.

A Toss official stated, “At Toss, we are enhancing the service so that anyone, even those unfamiliar with digital environments or app services, can intuitively use the QR service,” and emphasized, “We will create a convenient service that allows easy use of various proofs, including quarantine pass validity notifications and overseas vaccination records.”
