The State Government has confirmed that it intends to move to compulsory QR check-ins for all workplaces, with some limited exceptions. The recent outbreak saw a large number of cases in office settings, and to further improve our State’s capacity to respond the State Government is seeking to move all organisations to its QR code service.
