Greek Platform for Covid Certificate Goes Live Today, June 2

Greece leads from the front in an EU-wide program to issue digital Covid certificates to those who have been vaccinated or test negative for coronavirus.


Today, June 2, Greece joins the trial of the European Union’s digital Covid-19 certificate, ahead of the full rollout of the system on July 1, Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis has said.

“Greece is one of the first countries to join this big venture,” Pierrakakis said Tuesday, assuring that technical details will be finalized in the next few hours.

 

A Covid certificate will be available for download at eudcc.gov.gr to people who have received a vaccine, had a negative test in the past 72 hours or are immune, having recovered from coronavirus.

According to the recommendations published by the EU’s executive, members of the 27-member bloc should lift the quarantine requirement for arrivals who hold a valid digital certificate.
