Friendly skies: App would help travellers comply with COVID tests
A smartphone app could make it easier for travellers to securely show they have complied with COVID testing requirements. A public-interest foundation is testing a smartphone app that could make it easier for international airline passengers to securely show they have complied with COVID-19 testing requirements. Foundation CEO Paul Meyer said the pass is “intended to give people the ability to travel again by documenting that they meet the requirements of the places they want to go … This is a way to get things moving again.” The problem: The pandemic has led to a patchwork of travel bans, quarantines and testing requirements, with each country imposing its own rules. The CommonPass project, carried out in cooperation with the Switzerland-based World Economic Forum, aims to establish standard ways to verify lab results and, later, vaccination records, even if governments continue to set different health criteria.
