Do we need to display a QR code in our premises so that employees and visitors can scan and confirm their presence?

Royal Mail is supporting the use of the NHS Covid-19 App. We want to encourage everyone to download the NHS Covid-19 app on their phone. Guidance on how you can do this is available through the link. In line with government guidelines for hospitality premises Quadrant facilities will be displaying a QR code that can be scanned. There is no requirement for QR codes to be displayed in non-hospitality workplaces which means we do not need to display QR codes in our units or offices. If you are in contact with someone who later tests positive for coronavirus, the app will be able to alert you and provide instructions on what to do if applicable. Some of the guidance you will receive is advisory only.

If you develop symptoms and test positive, the app can be used to alert others you might have been in contact with and potentially share advice with them. Similar apps are live in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

For the purpose of collecting or delivering goods, colleagues are exempt from requiring to scan an NHS QR code and participation is through personal choice.

**Using the NHS Tracing App is voluntary. If a venue will not permit entry without using the NHS Tracing App, the delivery staff could offer, on a voluntary basis, to leave their office details. If this is not acceptable, and there is no immediate solution, the mail should be returned to the unit and the manager should follow the USO suspension process.** *Updated 6 0ct
