An Australian man has been arrested after allegedly placing fake QR codes over official COVID-19 check-in signs in South Plympton, Adelaide.
Man Arrested for Fake QR Codes
When customers used their smartphones to check-in and place their information for COVID-19 tracking, they were instead directed to an anti-vaccination website, according to BBC.
The Australian man, 51-year-old Colin Mark Davies, has been charged with two counts of obstructing operations related to COVID-19. In Australia, anyone found tampering with COVID-19 QR codes faces arrest and a penalty of up to $10,000.
The country operates a similar system to that of the United Kingdom's Test and Trace scheme, which asks customers to check in to venues, so they can be notified if they come into close contact with COVID-19 patients, as per 9News.
