Dear Service NSW,

I would like to know if you have any available statistics on either the number of notifications, number of tests and/or number of cases found that are attributable in your region to QR-code based contact tracing apps.

My motivation, living in Switzerland, is that we currently have an app deployed here that exclusively uses Bluetooth, and little traction for a QR-code based system. The theory says such a system would be much more effective than Bluetooth. Due to your low number of cases, I expect you might have interesting data to share, with some stronger perspective on what it means.

Thank you very much for your help,

Yours faithfully,

Pau-Olivier Dehaye

Info@Service,

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Service NSW is responsible for the Government QR Code.

However, we do not have access to the data or statistics requested by you in your email as this information is held by NSW Health due to the information collected being private and confidential.

If you have any questions related to the information attained by the QR code, please contact NSW Health directly.

Kind Regards,

Emerson
