Wuhan City Polytechnic has developed a health code access system that will facilitate management. The system can generate health codes that can be used to classify faculty, students and staff, grant access rights to different groups of people, and trace their movements when necessary.

武汉城市职业学院为方便管理，特地研发出一套健康码通行管理系统，生成学校专属校园健康码，可对师生员工实施分类管理，针对不同人群授予不同校内通行权限，并形成可追溯的活动轨迹。
