The COVID passport, or officially ‘European Covid Digital Certificate’, It will be the tool used by the European Union to facilitate tourism and the mobility of people between the countries of the European Union.. The app will have data on vaccination, on whether a person has recovered from COVID-19 and on COVID-19 detection tests, such as PCRs or antigens.
PCRs are precisely one of the questions that raise the most doubts. Yes a person is not vaccinated will have to continue to present a PCR or an antigen test. The PCRs will be paid for by the citizens themselves, with different prices between countries and after the approval of 100 million euros to continue to lower prices these tests.
For the vaccinated?
On July 1, all vaccinated citizens of the 27 countries of the European Union, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway will be able to move through all territories without presenting a negative PCR test, since the document requires one of the one of the three conditions to enable freedom of movement.
Until then, the criteria will be for each country or each autonomous community. The Balearic Islands have announced that Spanish tourists vaccinated with at least one dose will be able to travel to the islands without presenting a negative PCR. Those not vaccinated, on the other hand, will have to present a negative antigen test. In the Canary Islands, it will also be possible to travel without CRP being vaccinated, but they will have to wait for the entry into force of the COVID 1 July passport.
Some countries, like Spain, have advanced the permit to travel there to vaccinated people without having to submit a PCR test. These are European countries such as Poland, Romania, Cyprus and Denmark.
