How to get a QR code: simple instructions

Why you need a QR code

Whether it is needed at all and where exactly, depends on the region. The right to introduce and cancel coronavirus restrictions was assigned to the authorities of the subjects. So the requirements may differ, and even drastically.

For example, in Moscow, you will have to show a QR codeDecree No. 62‑UM of October 21, 2021 “On Amendments to the Decree of the Mayor of Moscow of June 8, 2020 No. 68‑UM”to go to a theater or a museum, as well as to any spectacular, entertainment or sporting event in which more than 500 people participate. At the same time, the organizers are allowed to require QR codes even with a lower occupancy of the hall - it is better to find out the details directly when buying a ticket.

In St. Petersburg, a QR code is requiredDecree of the Government of St. Petersburg dated October 18, 2021 No. 766 “On Amendments to the Decree of the Government of St. Petersburg dated March 13, 2020 No. 121”

So it is better to read the regulations of the authorities in your region and find out if there is a need to receive a QR code. And do not forget to find out how things are with this in other subjects if you are going there on vacation or business trip.

Who can receive the QR code

Vaccinated against COVID‑19

The QR code is given to those who have completed vaccination from coronavirus. That is, a person was given a one-component vaccine or two injections of a two-component vaccine were made. Moreover, only Russian drugs are taken into account. Russians vaccinated with a foreign vaccine are also promised to be given QR codes in the future, but so far this is just talkRussians who have been vaccinated with foreign vaccines will be given QR codes.

At the place of vaccination, you must provide a passport, numbers of SNILS and compulsory medical insurance policy. They are needed for the correct generation of the QR code.

It should be available three days after the administration of the second component of the two-component preparation, or after revaccination by any Russian means. Although it may appear earlier. If a single-component vaccine was chosen for the first vaccination, the QR code will be generated after 21 days. It is believed that during this period, immunity to coronavirus will increase and it will be possible to visit crowded places.

The QR code is valid for a year after vaccination.

Those who recovered from COVID‑19

Several conditions must be met:

• The patient went to a medical facility. Just staying at home is not enough.
• The doctor identified exactly COVID-19 with the code U07.1 or U07.2 according to the ICD-10 classification. Any other diagnosis will not work.
• The medical institution entered the patient's data into the appropriate register.
• The patient recovered.

The last point is important. If a person who already has a QR code becomes ill with COVID-19, his pass to public places will be canceled until he recovers.

The QR code will be available three days after recovery. It is valid for a year.

Performed a PCR test

Of course, the QR code will be assigned only to those who have not been diagnosed with the disease. It will work within 48 hours. Moreover, the period is counted from the date of delivery of the analysis, and not the receipt of the result.

It is important that the lab send results PCR test not only to your mail, but also to the state register, on the basis of which QR codes are generated. A list of such institutions is available at website Rospotrebnadzor. At the same time, there is an additional restriction for Moscow: the organization must be connected to the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System. In addition, you must agree to the transfer of your personal information, otherwise it will be illegal.
