And so it begins?

Hangzhou Municipal Health Commission

Gather the power, gather the wisdom, and the city health committee will deepen the normal application of [the] Hangzhou health code

... Sun Yongrong demanded that the city's health system should seize the opportunity of deepening the application of health codes [mobile phone apps], correctly grasp[ing] the requirements of the municipal party committee and municipal government, to deepen [the] application of health codes [apps], and play the role of the main force, and vanguard, of the health and administrative departments and medical and health units. We will do our best to grasp the "bimonthly tackling" in May and June to ensure the completion of various urban brain ['awareness'] health system target tasks [including the] "Shuxin Medical Treatment" and [the] "Health Code Application" [app]. Through the "one code first" of the urban brain ['awareness'] health system, the health code becomes a whole-population, full-cycle, full-process health consultant that the citizens can't put it down, [with] high-frequency use. The city's health system must take over the health code [app], work out new [features/functions] results, and make every effort to be a "first mover" in the industry's digital governance, so that the health code [app] can truly become a health partner of the people and a "firewall" to enhance people's health immunity.

(Bold and italics my interpretation and emphasis.)

So... Is this a "can't [not allowed to be?] put down [switched off]" tracking app being pushed for Coronavirus tracking that is to become a permanent tool to track people and their social interactions in the name of a new Great Firewall against people becoming ill?...

Including politically 'ill'?

The Register has picked up the story:

Contact-tracing app may become a permanent fixture in major Chinese city


Scary worse than I imagined... Science Fiction here today!

Coming next to your city or your country?... What is your 'health' score today?
