Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, June 20 (Reporters Wu Zhendong, Xu Dongyuan, Sang Tong) From June 1, Shanghai will enter the stage of fully restoring production and life order, showing the "Sui Shen Code" and scanning the "Place Code" to become citizens taking public transportation. , the "first step" to enter a public place.
But for some elderly people and people who do not have or are inconvenient to use smartphones, "simple operation" once became a "stumbling block" for them to return to their normal lives.
At the end of May, Shanghai launched a "paper offline application code" (referred to as "offline code"), which users can carry with them.
When it is necessary to "brighten the code", the staff of the relevant places will take the initiative to verify the user's health status, confirm the identity information, and change "you scan me" to "I scan you", which is convenient for citizens to travel.
Can the elderly with the "offline code" travel unimpeded?
What other conveniences do they expect?
The reporter recently conducted some investigations on the streets of Shanghai.
At around 2 pm, at the bus station of Zhenbei Road and Wenshui Road in Shanghai, Granny Chen, who was over 70 years old, took the "offline code" sealed with a plastic soft shell in her hand.
After getting in the car, she first showed the "offline code" to the driver, and after the other party completed the mobile phone verification, she swiped the traffic card and sat down.
A few days ago, Granny Chen and her wife applied for an "offline code" at the community affairs acceptance service center in their place of residence.
"The staff were afraid that we would lose it, so they helped us to print a few more sheets, which was very considerate." Aunt Chen said that the service center has opened up a green channel for the elderly to apply for "offline codes". arrive."
After getting off the bus, Grandma Chen came to a bank branch. The staff saw the old man's "offline code" and took the initiative to take out a professional scanning device for verification. After confirming that the nucleic acid negative report was within the validity period and taking the temperature, she was allowed to enter the business hall. .
There are also pharmacies and small supermarkets next to the outlet.
The reporter saw that the operator scans the "offline code" of the elderly through professional equipment or uses a mobile phone "with the application", and allows entry after confirming that there is no abnormality.
The 76-year-old Cai Laobo said: "Smartphones are too troublesome to use. Several times I was in a hurry at the door of the store. Now I have an 'offline code', which brings great convenience to life."
It is the original intention of implementing the "offline code" to facilitate the elderly to travel, do errands, and increase their sense of security. However, when the reporter and Granny Chen walked together, they found that the phenomenon of holding the "offline code" but being closed door still exists.
In a convenience store of a certain brand, the clerk did not know that he could scan the "offline code" with his mobile phone for information verification.
The other party told Granny Chen that if you can't scan the "place code" by yourself, you can't enter the store, but you can tell the items you need to buy, and the clerk can buy them on your behalf.
At the gate of a park, the security guard said that the machine could not scan the "offline code". After the reporter informed that the mobile phone could be used, the other party said that the mobile phone was not proficient, so Granny Chen had no choice but to leave.
The reporter visited many places and saw that due to equipment reasons, the "digital sentinels" in some public places can only scan the "Sui Shen code" and ID card, and the "offline code" cannot be checked.
Some bank branch staff reminded that at present, some "digital sentinels" can obtain health information such as nucleic acid results by scanning their ID cards. Therefore, in addition to the "offline code" when going out, the elderly should also carry their ID cards.
