DAVAO CITY – The local government is set to reopen the registration of the “Safe Davao QR” (DQR) system on Wednesday, November 11, a week after thousands of registrants flooded the website causing it to crash.

Duterte said, during her interview over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5) on Monday, November 9, that the resumption would be exclusive only for business establishments here.

She said the local government would make a separate announcement when the registration for individuals would reopen.

She said separate registration links would be provided for business establishments and individuals to avoid another website crash.

The previous DQR system website https://safedavaoqr.davaoct.com was taken down three days before the supposed mandatory enforcement last November 7.

The registration link for establishments would be released on Wednesday, she said.

Mandatory enforcement of the DQR system has been reset to November 23 from November 5 to give Dabawenyos more time to secure their personal DQR codes.

“We split the registration for DQR code of establishments and our individuals. The link for individuals will be separate from the link for establishments. We will first put up the one for establishments by Wednesday. The establishment can register by Wednesday, and then will announce the date for the individuals,” she said.

Around 360,000 business establishments and individuals were able to register starting October 31, until the website crashed four days after, according to Duterte.

She said those who have been registered in the system will no longer have to register anew for another DQR code.

The “Safe Davao QR” system, which is being made available to residents, non-residents, and establishments, including all private and government offices, was launched to hasten the contact-tracing system, and prohibit non-essential movement of the people within the city in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection, according to her.

Duterte said the city would also release a list of establishments and offices that will be required to participate in the system.

“We will release a general list of establishments if they need to scan or not, and then we will have the doctors check it because what we are tracing are the close contacts – F1, F2, F3," she said.

Persons classified as F1 would pertain to close contacts of the confirmed COVID-19 positive, F2 close contacts of F1s, and F3 close contacts of F2s, she said.

She said the department heads of the City Hall of Davao have been instructed to prepare scanners for their respective offices.

Business establishments could use their mobile phones to scan their DQR codes, she said.

To register, through the link, the people must provide a clear photo of your entire face, facing the camera; a clear photo of their valid ID or birth certificate (a list of valid IDs is provided below); a clear photo of their face beside the valid ID or birth certificate; a valid mobile phone number; and a valid email address.

The list of valid IDs are Social Security System / Government Service Insurance System, Unified Multi-Purpose Identification Card; Land Transportation Office Driver’s License (student permit may be accepted if in card format); Professional Regulatory Commission ID; Overseas Workers Welfare Administration / Integrated; Department of Labor and Employment (iDOLE) card;  Commission on Elections Voter's ID or Voter's Certification from the Election Officer with Dry Seal; Philippine National Police (PNP) Firearms License; Senior Citizen ID; Airman License (issued August 2016 onwards); Philippine Postal ID (issued November 2016 onwards); School ID; Passport; and In the absence of a valid ID, PSA copy of a birth certificate.

The local government said city residents who do not have valid IDs or birth certificates may apply for their DQR at the nearest police station, while non-Davao City residents who do not have valid IDs or birth certificates must first get these requirements before they can register for a DQR. It said employers should assist all their workers who do not know how to go online or do not own a smartphone.

As of November 8, the Department of Health-Davao Region reported a total of 6,487 cases with 1,885 active, 4,372 recoveries, and 230 deaths.

Of this total, the DOH-Davao reported that 4,476 were reported in Davao City, 344 in Davao de Oro, 692 in Davao del Norte, 488 in Davao del Sur, 107 in Davao Occidental, and 380 in Davao Oriental.
