EU Digital COVID Certificate: safer movements in the EU
In one of our previous posts, we explained that there are tools such as Re-open EU that are very useful for labour mobility within the EU in times of coronavirus.
Recently, the European Commission has approved a new system that will make it possible to provide health information in a simple and secure way, and which will allow for better mobility management in the context of the current health crisis.
What is the EU Digital COVID Certificate?
It is a digital certificate that will facilitate safe free movement of citizens in the European Union during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will prove that a person has either:
– Been vaccinated against COVID-19
– Received a negative test result
– Recovered from COVID-19
Countries can start issuing and using it already and it will become available in all EU Member States as of 1 July 2021.
For more information, we suggest checking the Factsheet: EU Digital COVID Certificate.
In case of major new outbreaks in any of the participating countries, MobiliseSME will provide assistance and information to ensure a safe stay.
For further details on rules during the coronavirus pandemic and how it might influence the MobiliseSME programme, please, address the Local Contact Points or write us on support@mobilise-sme.eu
