bulletin from Suffolk Trading Standards
From today (24th September), hospitality businesses, close contact services such as hairdressers and beauty salons, leisure, sports and visitor attractions as well as community and villages halls need to display a NHS QR code.
With these new measures affecting businesses across Suffolk, there is support available to you to help you meet the requirements of the Regulations. Guidance (with a link to be able to download a QR code poster) is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/maintaining-records-of-staff-customers-and-visitors-to-support-nhs-test-and-trace If you need further advice you can contact us via 0808 223 1133.
Customers don’t have to use this QR code if they don’t want to – they can instead provide details to the venue, which must be retained for the 21 days.
The NHS coronavirus contact tracing app has now launched across England and Wales. It has a QR code scanning feature, allowing people to check-in to venues they visit and easily share their contact details for test and trace purposes.
