If you were traveling during this pandemic, I bet you already have a lot of QR Codes. I have 3, even though I only travel out of town once in a blue moon, and it’s quite a hassle. You need to print out and laminate it every time. If you are off to another place, you will need another registration and another QR code. Finally! There’s one system for all of the country, and hopefully, this will be the only one used.
