What is contact tracing?
Contact tracing is the process of quickly identifying, assessing and managing people who have been to a specific location. It became critical during COVID-19, but many organisations have maintained contact tracing post-pandemic to have greater visibility of those attending different locations.
Why use Orca Scan for contact tracing?
You can quickly set up your sheet and create a QR code for visitors to scan with their mobile phone upon entry. Visitors must complete a short, secure QR Code Form. You can export this data to your favorite programmes, like Excel or Google Sheets, using our Integrations, helping you to maintain compliance records across multiple sites.
In a matter of minutes, business owners can create a simple visitor check-in process that:
- Works on all modern smartphones without the need for an app
- Generates and prints QR code posters to display on your premises
- Share data across multiple sites and locations in real-time
- Stores personal data securely in the cloud using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
- Access your data from any web browser or smartphone
- Custom solution to meet your needs
Why is contact tracing important?
During the pandemic, businesses that were open to the public had to collect contact details of visitors. They did this in case any of the visitors had come into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. This allowed public health agencies to contact those at risk and advise them of the correct steps to prevent further spreading.
Contact tracing after the pandemic helps keep everyone safe by informing them about the places they visit and work in. From clocking in and out at work to leaving a review, contact tracing gives you complete visibility of precisely who’s on your site and when.
What if a location doesn’t have a QR code?
You can create a QR code for contact tracing in the Orca Scan web app. Just open the side panel to select, download and print your barcodes easily.
For label purchases, we recommend Avery or Dymo.
How do you carry out contact tracing at multiple locations?
Create separate Orca Scan sheets for each premises or location, then display your QR Code Poster in the appropriate place so visitors can:
- Scan the QR code image with their smartphone camera
- Provide their contact details using autofill or enter manually in a few seconds
- Get back to enjoying their time at your business
If you’re a business managing multiple locations, you can easily consolidate contact information from each of your sheets into a well-organised single sheet with the help of views.
