EU Digital Covid Certificate

Spain has begun this week to issue the EU Digital COVID Certificate to all citizens who reside in our country and request it, so that it is ahead of the time when it will be mandatory, set for next July 1, which is the date set by the European Regulation prepared for this purpose.

It will be done progressively and in a testing period throughout the month of June, although the certificates issued will be valid from the first moment. This week, most autonomous communities have begun to issue digital certificates to prove some of the conditions, mainly having received the vaccine or having recovered from the disease.

In the coming days and weeks, the autonomous communities will offer more and more functionalities of said certificate with the aim that on July 1 they can all issue electronic and in-person certificates that accredit the three circumstances such as vaccination, recovery and negative results of diagnostic tests.

The certificate can be obtained in both electronic and paper format and in both cases, each certificate generates a QR code that makes it easier to read.

Since this week, the new rules that regulate the health requirements that all travelers entering Spain must meet have also come into force. All people vaccinated with the complete schedule will be able to enter our country regardless of their place of origin, proving said vaccination if they come from a risk country or area.

In addition, all people who travel to Spain from a European country in the Schengen Area may do so if they prove that they have been vaccinated against Covid-19, have a diagnostic test with a negative result, also including antigen tests for the first time or have had the disease in the last six months and have recovered from it.

In Fraternidad-Muprespa we have prepared on our web portal Previene a specific space dedicated to the Coronavirus to help our associated companies and that has all the information of interest related to the pandemic.
