DavOr to roll out full- scale implementation of QR Code System

STARTING January 18, 2021, the Province of Davao Oriental will implement the Davao Oriental Digital Contact Tracing System ( DAVOR- DCTS) requiring Davao Oriental residents and non- residents to present their Quick Response or QR Code in private and public establishments here.

Provincial Task Force on Covid- 19 Action Officer Dr. Reden Bersaldo announced this during a Facebook Live on Thursday, January 7, 2021.

Through the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office ( PDRRMO), the Province has already started distributing the cards containing the QR codes of Davao Oriental residents since January 07 in ten municipalities and one city, Dr. Bersaldo said.

Those who had already received their QR codes were Davao Oriental residents who were included in the manual registration which started in November 2020, Bersaldo said.

Covered in the initial registration were Davao Oriental residents of ages ranging from 15 to 65 years considered as Authorized Persons Outside Residence ( APOR).

Bersaldo explained that the province opted to implement the manual registration, which tapped barangay workers to collect the required data since not all residents of the province have access to the internet or own a cellphone or a computer.
