– «RED» status – registered in the database with a positive result for COVID-19.

If the visitor does not have a smartphone, the employee of the facility checks the visitor’s status in the information system with his consent.

Visitors are not allowed to enter the facilities participating in the pilot project, subject to isolation according to the status: «yellow» (contact with COVID-19), «red» (with a positive result for COVID-19) in accordance with Appendix 36 of the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor  Of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 25, 2020 No. 67 «On further strengthening measures to prevent coronavirus infection among the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.»
