HCM City pilots “COVID-19 green cards” to control residents’ travel

People who have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days, or those who have recovered from COVID-19 for less than six months, will subsequently be given green cards. “COVID-19 green cards” are issued in the form of a quick respond (QR) code on the "Y tế HCM" application for smartphones.

Each resident will be given a QR code on their smartphone app. For people who do not use smartphones, authorities will instead issue a code via a text message or a physical card printed with a QR code.

The main information associated with the personal QR code will include a medical declaration, a history of vaccination against the virus, including information about both the first dose and the second dose, COVID-19 test results, and health monitoring information for F0 cases who are isolating at home.

Residents are required to make medical declarations on their mobile phone app or access https://khaibaoyte.tphcm.gov.vn/ before going out.

Local people who have “COVID-19 green cards” will be required to present QR codes at checkpoints, workplaces, supermarkets, convenience stores, and food outlets.
