The Queensland government will mandate its new COVID-Safe check-in app for most pubs, restaurants, and cafes across the state from May 1 to help contact tracing during outbreaks of the CCP virus.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the check-in app would provide “relevant, legible and timely” information to help respond to an outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
