European Union begins on Thursday, working digital certificate for immunity from Corona virus.

The European Commission confirmed that the “Covid-19” certification system began to operate as of today, with the aim of facilitating the movements of European Union residents within its territories.

This decision enters into force in the 27 member states of the European Union and four European countries outside the Schengen area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).

The new system stipulates that there are three types of “Covid-19” certificate, which either confirms that the person has received the approved vaccine in the European Union against Corona, or confirms that he has recovered from the infection 180 days ago, or proves that he is not infected with the virus based on the result of the polymerase chain reaction examination (PCR).

Noting that, the validity of the digital certificate is not more than one year.
