5 ways for the elderly to use health codes even without smartphones

As the epidemic prevention work deepens, for many elderly people who do not know how to use smartphones, how can they go out during the Spring Festival when epidemic prevention and control has become normalized?

On February 1, we learned from the digital life service open platform Alipay that it actually now supports the application and query of health codes on behalf of others, and the elderly can ask passers-by to help check their health codes when they are outside.

In addition, Alipay reminds that some cities and regions also support ID card and citizen card inquiries. Statistics show that there are at least five ways on the market to help the elderly use health codes.

First, if the elderly or children are traveling with someone, the most convenient way is for the accompanying adult to apply for a health code on their behalf, and then switch to display it as one person traveling with multiple people;

Secondly, if the elderly or children travel without accompaniment, they can also ask passers-by to help check. After obtaining consent, others only need to enter the ID number of the elderly (over 60 years old) or children (under 16 years old) to temporarily display the health code (10 seconds).

In terms of operation, search for "epidemic prevention health information code" on Alipay, click to enter, and you can use services such as one-click to obtain health codes, help others obtain health codes, and assist the elderly and children to query health codes in real time. When applying on behalf of others, the applicant must verify the real name and identity before authorization. Currently, this service has covered the whole country.

In addition, some areas support citizens to swipe their ID cards or citizen cards to read health codes, download and print offline codes, etc., which can facilitate smooth travel for the elderly, children, etc. without smartphones.

For example, Sichuan supports offline health codes, which can be carried around for a limited period of 7 days. Users can search "Sichuan Tianfu Health Pass" on Alipay to download it; some hubs and hospitals in Zhejiang and other regions also support swiping ID cards to query health codes; Hangzhou also supports swiping citizen cards to read health codes, making travel more convenient for the elderly or young children. When traveling, the elderly or young children can choose a specific method based on actual conditions.
