COVID
NEW CHECK AND PJROTECT SYSTEM
ust over a month ago, the Scottish Government introduced new measures requiring indoor hospitality venues to
record patron contact information.
Visit Moray Speyside and Moray Chamber of Commerce worked together to launch Check
& Protect, offering businesses a simple, secure and efficient way of recording customer contact details in line with the Scottish Government regulations.
Moray Speyside Check and Protect was launched just 6 weeks ago and is already being used by more than 70 businesses in the region. More than 6,500 individuals have signed up, collectively checking-in more than 25,000 times.
Customers have only to sign up once to the system, using their smartphone camera, and they can then seamlessly check in to any registered business with their phone.
Patron data is securely stored for the required 21-day period and is then automatically deleted. If businesses become aware of a potential
issue, their check-in data can be accessed by NHS track & trace or the local authority within minutes.
A business dashboard allows manual entry
of patron data for those who do not have a smartphone by means of a simple webpage which can be accessed on a laptop, desktop or tablet.
Check & Protect will continue to be offered free for businesses across Moray Speyside to use as we work together to protect our communities, families, visitors and businesses as we move into
