DAVAO CITY – The city government of Davao has launched the Safe Davao QR (DQR) mobile application which is equipped with a new feature that notifies an individual that he is “blocked” from entering business establishments or private offices for testing positive for COVID-19.
The DQR mobile application, which is available for download via Google Play Store for Android and Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users, allows individuals to scan the QR codes of business establishments and private offices upon entry for contact-tracing.
Lemuel Ortonio, Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) head, said Friday that this mobile app feature could detect individuals who have been tagged by contact tracers as active COVID-19 case in the system once they use it to scan the QR codes of the establishments.
