2997. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Health if an EU Digital COVID Certificate will be expedited for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39830/21]
View answerThe Digital COVID Certificate Regulation is intended to facilitate people’s fundamental right to move and reside freely and help to support the lifting of restrictions currently in place in a coordinated manner within the EU.
As the Minister for Health, I am supporting the work of my Department in collaborating with relevant Departments under the leadership of the Department of Taoiseach to assist in the on-going implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificates.
Certificates based on vaccination and recovery are now being issued. Citizens who have not received their Digital COVID Certificate and require it urgently can call the helpline on 1800 807 008.
