How did CCTV respond to the issue of difficulty in using the health code for the elderly?

CCTV responded by saying that it hopes relevant departments can think more carefully and not let digitalization become a gap for the elderly. Due to the epidemic, major provinces and cities have launched health codes one after another. Not only do you need to show a health code when taking high-speed rail buses, but you also need a health code to enter community supermarkets. The use of health codes does make it easier for relevant departments to understand our physical conditions, but it also causes trouble for some people. These people are the elderly who do not have smart phones, use elderly phones, or do not know how to use health codes. There are many elderly people who cannot see clearly as they get older, and they have to adjust their cell phones to a higher setting to be able to see them. For them, they simply don’t know how to use the health code.

In Jiangsu, such a thing happened. On a bus, several elderly people were kicked off the bus by passengers because they were using mobile phones and could not show their health codes. They delayed the bus trip. There were also elderly people on the bus who were using smartphones. Because they still couldn't get their health codes after a long time, they were kicked out of the bus by the passengers on the bus. This incident is undoubtedly outrageous. Who doesn’t have grandparents in their family, and who won’t grow old?

When you get old, how do you feel when you are kicked out of the car by young people because you have been unable to get your health code? Why can't we be more tolerant of the elderly? They are older and slow to learn. It is normal for them not to be able to do these things. If they continue to be unable to do them, can't the young people in the car teach them? Everyone has a time when they get older. As young people, we should be considerate of the slowness and insensitivity of the elderly instead of always yelling at them impatiently and looking down on them.

At present, many provinces and cities have made relevant improvement measures to deal with the elderly’s inability to use health codes. For example, Danzhou City has introduced measures to eliminate the need to use health codes when taking buses, entering communities and shopping malls. It is mandatory to show the health code, which can be based on the ID card or household registration book, and you can enter after taking your temperature.
