Now travel to these nations with digital COVID-19 certificate, all you need to know

The digital COVID-19 certificate records whether people have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, recovered from the virus or tested negative within 72 hours.

New Delhi: India has witnessed the heat from the second wave of coronavirus. All of us are once again restricted inside our homes, for obvious reasons. In a new development, there is good news for global travellers. A digital COVID-19 Certificate System that is intended to ease up the travel within the European Union became optional in seven countries. This decision was taken on Tuesday (June 1), way ahead of its schedule. This development is bringing excitement among global travellers as this could become a standard for post-pandemic global mobility. According to schengenvisainfo, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Croatia and Poland made the certificates available to their citizens as of Tuesday (June 1) and are accepting them for visitors. The European Commission, the bloc’s administrative branch, said the system would be in use for all 27 E.U. countries as of July 1. The New York Times reported that the document, known as a digital COVID certificate, records whether people have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, recovered from the virus or tested negative within 72 hours. Travellers can move freely if at least one of those three criteria is met.
