EU reaches deal on Covid passes to open summer travel
The EU has reached a deal on Covid certificates designed to open up tourism across the 27-nation bloc this summer, the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) said.
The certificate will take the form of a QR code on a smartphone or paper, letting authorities determine the status of a visitor based on records in their home EU country.
It will show if a person had received a vaccine, had a recent negative test or had immunity based on recovery, Reuters reports.
Lawmakers had wanted countries to commit to free testing for the certificate and said that no EU country should set additional quarantine requirements.
