(UPDATED) In an effort to boost its contact tracing solutions, the Quezon City government has launched KyusiPass as its official contact tracing app powered by SafePass.
The Quezon City government has been using it in government offices since January 2021, following the passage of Resolution 8416-2020 by the Quezon City Council, which urged the city government to implement a city-wide QR code contact tracing solution.
Through KyusiPass, Quezon city can keep track of who is visiting each establishment within its jurisdiction and will have the ability to contact trace them easily.
