Diary of a Self-isolator: Day 576 [11 October 2021]<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8 October 2021, QR codes are officially introduced in Kaliningrad and across the Kaliningrad region. What are they? Think Vaccination Passports in the UK and you are on the right track.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published: 11 October 2021 ~ QR Codes Enforced in Kaliningrad<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the 8th<\/sup> October 2021, it has no longer been possible in Kaliningrad to access restaurants, cafes, bars, canteens, buffets, snack bars and similar establishments, without flashing your QR code. From 1st<\/sup> November the QR code restriction will be extended to cover swimming pools and fitness centres, cinemas and cultural institutions such as theatres, philharmonic societies and concert halls1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How all this works exactly, with regard to official documentation delivery and locating your personal QR code is explained in this article1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get a QR code? You\u2019ve guessed it, vaccination! Once you have completed a full vaccination course you will then have access to your QR code<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mandatory vaccinations for certain categories of workers have also been extended2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some statistics about coronavirus in the Kaliningrad region2<\/sup>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the beginning of October, the Kaliningrad region has broken several records for the daily increase in coronavirus cases. Every day, more than 250 people fall ill in the region. In September, mortality from infection increased by 20%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here are some more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs of early October, more than 330,000 people have been vaccinated against the coronavirus in the region. About 311 thousand people underwent a full course of vaccination. According to Rospotrebnadzor, these indicators are insufficient to combat the spread of infection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes Enforced in Kaliningrad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rumour also has it3 <\/sup>that somewhere along the line QR codes might be needed for visiting shopping centres. Just in case, I have stocked up the larder with seven tins of baked beans and 356 bottles of beer. Will it be bog rolls next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
