answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2021 answer text <p>Designated venues, including hospitality businesses, must collect contact details of staff, customers and visitors and provide a National Health Service QR code for individuals to check in to the venue using the COVID-19 app. Local health protection teams can ask the venue for these records where it is necessary, for example if the premises has been identified as the location of a potential outbreak. Venues must share the requested information as soon as possible to help identify people who may have been in contact with the virus and help minimise the onward spread. NHS Test and Trace does not collect this data unless it is necessary for contact tracing following an identified outbreak.</p><p>In a recent poll 76% of visitors to restaurants, cafes and pubs stated they were asked to provide their details or scan an NHS QR code on entry. We continue to engage with business and enforcement officials to work towards 100% compliance.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 21/01/2021 12:57:02 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
