EU Covid travel cert gets green light from MEPs – Andrews

An EU-wide Covid certificate to enable easier travel across the EU has been approved by the European Parliament.

The vast majority of MEPs voted for the EU Digital Covid certificate which should apply from July the first and be in place for 12 months.

The cert which will be in digital or paper format, will contain information on a person’s vaccination status along with negative Covid test results and recovery from the virus where applicable. In theory it should help people to travel much more easily across the EU.

However, Fianna Fáil MEP Barry Andrews says the cert won’t be immediately available to people in Ireland.
