Hong Kong authorities will create a health code system to certify residents when they visit Macau and Guangdong and vice-versa, with a detailed plan elected to be announced on in early June, newspaper South China Morning Post reported.
However, before applying for a QR health code, a person would have to undergo a Covid-19 test, the report states, valid for around seven days.
The decision would be part of negotiations between Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong authorities to create a “travel bubble” enabling easier movement of people among the region.
At the beginning of this month, Macau health authorities launched a new tri-colour health code and upgraded version of its health declaration system, required o entry in the city or in venues inside the city, with the system recognised by Guangdong.
Users are required to answer three questions regarding their current health, travel history and history of close contact with a health code generated in green, yellow or red according to their status.
A green code indicates the individual has no link to any Covid-19 cases and is free to enter any venues, a yellow code means the individual is showing relevant symptoms or is listed as a regular contact, and are advised to take active management of their own health, while a red code is issued for individuals listed as confirmed patients, suspected cases or close contacts, and are barred from entering the specific venue.
