COVID 19 - QR Codes

Description (Dublin Core)

The QR code is now seen everywhere after the start of the pandemic in an attempt to help stop the spread of COVID-19. It is used to check-in to locations so individuals do not have to enter the building until necessary because of the importance of social distancing. QR codes have also been utilized by restaurants for customers to scan on their phones and be directed to an online version of the menu, since menus were not allowed to be reused. Moreover, QR codes are even used to pay at stores using PayPal’s app in order to avoid handing over a card or cash and potentially handing over a virus in the process The use of the QR codes requires a mobile device, and its increase of its implementation into our society further shows how technology played a huge part in our day to day lives due to the pandemic.
