en-us	Q: Health Code:

zh-cn	发挥了什么作用？
en-us	What and How?

zh-cn	答：新冠疫情暴发以来，疫情防控需要限制人员流动，但企业需要员工在春节假期后尽快回到工作岗位。
en-us	A: To contain the COVID-19 outbreak, limiting people’s movement is necessary. However, companies would need their employees to go back to work after the Spring Festival holiday.

zh-cn	面对疫情防控和复工复产的两难选择，中国各省市相继推出健康码，依靠数字技术对人员流动开展精准追踪和健康管理，并正在实践中不断完善其应用。
en-us	To balance the need between disease control and work resumption, local governments in China have created “Health Code”, using digital technology to facilitate people’s movement and improve public health management.

zh-cn	健康码是手机APP上的“绿码、红码、黄码”三色动态码，由各地政府运营的后台系统根据用户自主申报和防疫大数据自动审核生成，作为疫情时期的数字化健康证明，凭码通行公交地铁、社区、办公场所、医保支付、商场超市、机场车站等场所。
en-us	“Health Code” is a dynamic code on the mobile phone app that consists of three colors: green, red and yellow. It is automatically checked and generated by the system of local governments with information received from users’ self-declaration and disease control-related big data. The Green “Health Code” works as a digital pass, with which people can move around in places like public transportation, communities, offices, supermarkets and pharmacies.

zh-cn	一旦在某个场所接触到感染者，绿码就会变成黄色或红色，就需要采取隔离措施。
en-us	It will turn to red or yellow if the user gets in touch with the infected, and the user might be informed to quarantine immediately.

en-us	Some other provinces and municipalities also created different versions of “Health Code” with the help of WeChat.

zh-cn	随后，针对各地防控形势和政策不同导致不能跨省互认、影响人员跨省流动等问题，国家政务服务平台2月29日推出“防疫健康信息码”，各省按照统一的数据格式标准和内容要求，向全国一体化平台汇聚本地区防疫健康信息，实现了基础数据和技术标准的互认共享。
en-us	To solve the discrepancy of “Health Code” systems that hinders people’s travelling across provinces, the national E-Government Citizen Services Platform created a unified form of code for all provinces to follow. Hence, the local governments would report relevant health information to the national platform, using the same standard and requirement.

zh-cn	截至3月20日，中国绝大多数地区的健康码可以一码通行，各地区调用健康码次数超过12亿次。
en-us	Up to March 20, “Health Code” has been used in most of the regions in China, with the total number of usage reaching 1.2 billion times.

en-us	1. For disease control agencies, the “Health Code” platform helps them fulfil duties like community registration, employees’ registration, health self-check and report, fever clinic inquiry, mask reservation and purchase, online payment and real-time disease information release. The platform has improved the efficiency of disease prevention and control, simplified the information gathering process, and avoided repeated form-filling paperwork.

zh-cn	2.对政府来说，健康码平台已经建立了统一标准，可解决各地企业、社区、学校各种信息申报信息不一致、交叉不可用的问题，及时掌握动态情况，更好平衡疫情防控和恢复经济社会活动相关政策。
en-us	2. For the government, the “Health Code” platform has established a unified standard to solve the information discrepancy from different companies, communities and schools. The platform helps to have a more precise assessment of the real-time situation, and to make policies based on the balance of disease control and resumption of economic and social activities.

zh-cn	3.对公众来说，免去反复填表申报。
en-us	3. For individuals, it is no longer needed to report their health conditions repetitively to different agencies with different paperwork.
