| If you intend to visit LGUs in the Agusan del Sur province, you must download a QR code because it is required for visitors. |
(UPDATED) The Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur (PGAS) launched its own contact tracing system, the "Agusan del Sur QR Code," in November 2020, in an effort to provide a centralized system to monitor the movement of people entering Agusan del Sur and establishments of a specific LGU.
The QR code system was initially limited to officials and employees working in the Government Center, but it was later used throughout the province.
Residents and non-residents staying in LGUs under the province's jurisdiction must generate an Agusan del Sur QR Code through the web portal. It must be presented in public and private establishments across the province to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through effective contact tracing.
