– The coronapas we present today can be used when you can travel in the EU from 1 July.
– It will apply within the EU as official evidence that you have either been tested negative, vaccinated or are immune because you have been infected.
– There is reason why we in Denmark are proud that we are strong in digitization to such an extent that we can now roll out the new corona passport, it sounds from the Minister of Finance.
The new digital corona pass works using an app that you can download to your phone.
So far, it has been possible to create a digital corona pass via the app My Health.
But here is sensitive personal information such as name and social security number. In addition, you can see if you have been tested negative, have previously been infected, or have been vaccinated.
In the new app, there is just a QR code or a green screen that is read.
– It does not say anything about private health data. The Data Ethics Council and our advisory board support that it is the right step to take, says Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke (S).
In Danish Industry, director Lars Sandal Sørensen is satisfied that the newly developed Danish corona passport is compatible with a European certificate that is under development.
– We in Europe must have a similar certificate as of 1 July. So we are ready already now and have been for a while.
– It is a good example of how far we are with digitalisation in Denmark. It is a good example of private-public cooperation, says Lars Sandahl Sørensen.
In addition to travel, the new corona passport can also be used at home as access to, for example, restaurants and concerts.
