The coronavirus digital health passport shows the status of a traveler before they take a flight. First, you need to download the application on your phone and enter personal details like name, age sex, and then verify with a fingerprint or face scan. After that, take a test from an authorized medical professional. After receiving your results, scan them into the application for example Covi-pass.
Issues of data privacy
Whose data is it? There are concerns on who is in charge of the data collected and what it is used for. As we saw in this article, privacy and security are still a barrier to digital health adoption. However, in instances where there is a dire need for travel for example in these times of lockdowns, people may care less about privacy concerns.
