FISCO BCOS, a Chinese non-profit blockchain consortium, reports that blockchain-based health records have enabled China to resume mainland tourism to Macau. Macau's blockchain-powered medical data system has recognized the ID codes of the Guangdong health system of the mainland, allowing mainland Chinese tourists to verify their health status using the system when entering Macau. The system encrypts medical data to the FISCO BCOS consortium blockchain, which is then immutably signed by issuing authorities.

To date, over 17 million tourists have cleared customs between Macau and mainland China using the system, and authorities say that the system only needs 100 seconds to generate a Guangdong health code for the first time, and only 3 seconds for future uses.
