Traveling without quarantine? It may soon be possible with new airline industry app
Fox News
A new app from the International Air Travel Association (IATA) that will let airline and government officials log and share travelers' health information, like COVID-19 results and vaccination statuses, is slated to be available in March, and free to passengers via both IOS and Android platforms.
The IATA Travel Pass works by alerting passengers to the health requirements of their destinations in order to be allowed entry, and provide a health itinerary of sorts, with information on requirements, testing centers, and even the ability to schedule appointments. A "digital passport" feature is included for receiving and storing digital vaccination or testing information, which can be shared with airlines or other authorities "to facilitate travel." "With this app, IATA also aims to provide governments with the confidence to reopen borders without imposing quarantines on incoming travelers," the IATA says on its website.More Related News
