To accelerate tourism and mobility between countries, the European Union has created the COVID Digital Certificate, a COVID passport that certifies that we have been vaccinated, or that we have given a negative result to a test, or that we have overcome the disease in order to avoid quarantines on arrival in a country.
To apply for this COVID passport, we need to access the app or website of the Ministry of Health of our Autonomous Community. There we can visualize our COVID digital certificate
Your COVID passport in Google Pay
Google announced that they have updated the API Pass Google pay to allow store and access COVID tests and vaccination cards in a sense simpler and safer, so that the user does not have to depend on a PDF or install the respective application of their health service.
As of today, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and organizations authorized by public health authorities to distribute COVID vaccines and / or tests can access these APIs. Google says it will first be implemented in The United States then the rest of the world.
The advantages of saving the COVID certificate in Google Pay there are many. The first is that you can create a direct access to your COVID certificate on the home screen. The second advantage is that your COVID certificate will be protected by your fingerprint or password. And the third advantage is that the certificate is accessible without connection when all health applications need internet connection.
Google reports that the COVID certificate is saved on the device, is not stored in the cloud, so only we have access to your information.
