Oblivian: Ok so it's the Microsoft environment that's got a problem.

A few of us should perhaps use the contact Link, point them this direction. If people out there in hybrid 365 are using their work account to sign up it's going to impact them also

 

It may be not the Microsoft environment but misconfiguration on the MoH email settings causing it to be blocked.

Someone could please post the sender's address so we can check, perhaps?

And published a site to test:

Up the top left you can toggle between the Example JWK and Production under config.

Reading a LinkedIn post where someone with an interest in the process (Ian McCrae, CEO OrionHealth) complains about this having teething problems on launch day. The comments are a good list of "experts" that you shouldn't hire.

Two common themes: "It's an email, why didn't write an app for that?" and "Why not use the covid tracer app?" followed with "what a waste".

Using the existing Apple Wallet and Google Pay secure storage was the better choice. Writing an app would require the team to create all the security safeguards that are already provided by these wallets, increasing development time by weeks if not months.

Why not add it to the covid tracer app? Because the app uses the Apple/Google Exposure Notifications framework and the licence for that excludes the possibility of adding this type of functionality.

Obviously most of the commenters seemed to have no idea of why access to the mycovidrecord site was being affected on that day, so most comments were unhelpful "oh, this is a government project" without looking at it simply as a scaling issue. 

Rikkitic:

 

Just regular typing paper. Does this need to come with an instruction manual?

 

Your printer should have had recommended papers in its manual. If you use the $6 for 500 sheets stuff made for laser printers in it, then the moisture will make anything you print look like a mess with bleeding, non linear colours and other nasty things that would seriously screw up any form of QR or barcode.

Also, if you print it from something that applies an incorrect colourspace conversion to it then it may end up dithering the the thing and making it all grainy on the edges. I know that the ones we printed for people at work on a bog standard office laser printer are able to be scanned no problems in a QR reader on an iphone.
