| Taguig QR code is required when entering Taguig City establishments. TRACE Taguig can be used to generate it. Learn how to register here. |
Since the beginning of the pandemic, many local government units have stepped up to develop innovative solutions to combat the spread of COVID-19, one of which is the use of contact tracing apps.
Taguig City is one of these LGUs that has made it possible for residents and non-residents of the city to be contacted immediately if there is a COVID-19 infection risk by logging their information in Trace Taguig. The app will then generate a quick response (QR) code for each user, which must be presented before entering a city establishment.
Aside from contact tracing, TRACE Taguig also provides Taguig LGU alerts and announcements, vaccination registration, COVID-19 updates, a digital health declaration form, and health status notification.
