This is probably a silly question, but is there any QR code to scan with the leave home safe app if we visit massage parlours or WG now? Because I haven't been in a long time and worried I need to scan it when entering these buildings like foremost building, ng po, King hing, JLM etc.

For hotel walkups, all will require you to scan and the hotels name is shown. No building that I have visited has required me to scan. That includes the spas in Central and TST, if you are asked to scan then the building name will show in your visit record. But Fuji, King Hing, JSL all don't require you to scan.

hope that helps.

141 building no need as it's private housing so not mandatory needed. The QR code is only for people who want to scan

Spa or Sauna, you might need as they are in commercial building and there are register as a spa business, especially now that they are officially open for business.
However police prefer check restaurant, bars or public places to fine people I don't think they will often check spa.

As others suggested, when visiting a hotel or a spa you usually need to scan the QR code. None of the 141 buildings I’ve been showed any QR code to scan at all.

A burner phone has always been important in this hobby for various reasons. This is one of them!

Burner phones are considered to be something to hide your tracks right? However, by using the LeaveHomeSafe App on whatever phone, requires you to upload your vaccination record in order to get that green screen upon scanning the QR Code at any given venue. In other words, instead of burner phones. We will need burner vaccination records.

I could be wrong. Kindly explain if i am missing something..

Not exactly. The software has 2 separate functions:

1. Leave home safe: software which activates the camera on your telephone to scan the QR code (green and white signs) posted outside restaurants. This does not require a Sim card in the phone and does not require you to have a vaccination record loaded into the telephone. In early days when this program was rolled out in November, restaurants would ask you to scan before entering and would check your screen to see that it was green before letting you in. Following implementation of the below vaccination record, restaurants don't seem to be so concerned about this.


2. Vaccination record: software which displays the QR code stored on your telephone (which it obtains after you use your telephone to scan the QR code given to you on the piece of paper by the health department after you take your vaccination), which you then hold up to a camera on a telephone or tablet inside the restaurant. Completing this scanning will make a "ding dong" sound on the telephone or tablet inside the restaurant, it shows no confirmation of scanning on your telephone. This is now a big deal and restaurants will require you to do this. They apparently are subject to fines as they actually want to see you doing this, many times they are busy and would not notice that you come in and hear the sound after you scanned it voluntarily. I have scanned it and then been asked to scan it again while they watched me more than once; when walking into a restaurant it's best to wait until they acknowledge you and let them watch you do the scan. This is uploaded to my mobile phone which has no SIM card and works. The problem with this is I don't know what's in the scanning software used by the restaurants. Supposedly it merely checks but the QR code is valid, but I would not be surprised if it actually sends this information back to the government, so the government knows every single restaurant I visited.

Keep on mongering
