QR-code based contact-tracing app brings 'defining moment' for UK’s 'world beating' test and trace system

When I went out a few weeks ago there was one bar that had the doorman stopping people coming in until you scanned the QR code with your phone and actually showed them the screen to prove you had done it. While at another pub just a few minutes down the road I couldn't even see any details for their track and trace, just a few signs up telling people to stay 2 meters apart, and virtually no one was.

I hope the NHS app has a QR code scanner built into it, as unlike iOS not all Android phones can scan them without a 3rd party app. And there needs to be a backup paper system for those who don't have a smart phone or are out of data on their phone etc.
