LeaveHomeSafe App To Be Enhanced

The LeaveHomeSafe mobile app version 3.0.1 will be available on December 21 with new functions to enhance user experience, said the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer today.

The office said the mobile app’s new version will feature new functions that enable users to log in to the Hong Kong Health Code system more conveniently, thus streamlining the application process of the health code.

After uploading visit records through the LeaveHomeSafe mobile app to the health code system, users can press a new button to access the Hong Kong Health Code website and continue to apply for the code without the need to re-enter the password.

In addition, after receiving the six-digit one-time passcode through SMS, iOS and Android users can enter the passcode automatically with just one click, without further manual input.

The office noted that the LeaveHomeSafe mobile app has reached about 7.19 million in the number of downloads.

At present, over 104,000 public and private venues have participated in the scheme, among which about 82,000 are private venues.

As for the Hong Kong Health Code that was launched on December 10, around 556,000 people have registered their accounts as at noon today, of which about 278,000 have activated their accounts.
