To enable travel within the European Union (EU), the European Commission has proposed the creation of a digital green certificate. This
green passport
will include vaccinees but also those who test negative for COVID-19 PCR.
As Europe grapples with the third wave of the coronavirus, imposing travel restrictions, the European Commission unveiled a draft digital green certificate on March 17, 2021. This
