LAPULAPU CITY --- The GMR MEGAWIDE Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC) joined the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) in implementing and use of the contact tracing app, Traze at the MCIA, Ninoy Aquino International Airport NAIA), Clark International Airport (CIA), Davao International Airport (DIA) since October 28.
Starting November 28, 2020, all passengers will be required to download and register on the Traze app in order to be permitted entry into the terminal.
GMCAC chief executive advisor Andrew Harrison said that they are fully in support to this initiative by government to ensure the safety of the passengers and the entire airport community through automated contact tracing.
“This also enhances the efficiency of contact tracing at the airport as it reduces the previous manual process,” Harrison said.
According to MCIAA general manager and CEO Atty. Steve Dicdican that the MCIA welcomed this unified contact tracing system to further reassure our passengers that we are doing everything possible to help contain COVID-19.
“By using a QR code, Traze speeds up to an
instant the tedious, time-consuming and inaccurate manual contact tracing
process among all departing and arriving passengers,” Dicdican added.
The use of the Traze app follows the direction of DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade to strengthen the government’s efforts against COVID-19 through intensive contact tracing especially in public transportation hubs.
By downloading and registering for an account on the Traze App, passengers scan the QR codes located at designated points in the terminals before being allowed to enter the airport.
Passengers without smartphones to download the app can approach the Malasakit Helpdesks located at Terminal 1 Departure Grand Lobby and Terminal 2 Arrivals for their assistance.
