A woman is set to face court on Tuesday accused of setting up fake QR codes that sent patrons of a country bar to an anti-vax website rather than the Queensland Covid check-in.

A spokeswoman said it will be alleged the woman entered the business on May 16 as a patron and placed a number of false QR check-in codes around the premises.
