“LeaveHomeSafe” Mobile App

Development of the “LeaveHomeSafe” mobile app is led by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer. Characterised by voluntary participation and recording visits at users' discretion, it is a digital tool to record accurately the date and time for checking into and leaving different venues. The app is easy to use and can be downloaded for free. App users can check into venues by scanning the venue QR code to log their arrival time and clicking the "Leave" button in the app to mark their departure. Relevant data will then be kept in the app inside the user's mobile phone.

Announced by the HKSAR Government on 24 November 2020, persons responsible for carrying on catering businesses providing dine-in services and scheduled premises must apply for a “LeaveHomeSafe” venue QR code from the Government, and display the QR code obtained at the entrance of the premises or at a conspicuous position within two working days upon receipt of the QR code.

Application procedures and steps:

1. Apply for QR Code – Provide your venue and contact information to register
2. Get your QR Code – Upon completion of the application, the QR code will be sent to the provided email address
3. Display the QR Code at prominent positions and promote usage – Print out the QR Code and display at your venue, and to help promote and advise people to download and use the app
