Raed Arafat: The COVID certificates can be verified by Economic Agents

Raed Arafat COVID Certificates can be verified by Economic Agents

Raed Arafat says that the new restrictive measures for unvaccinated people will come together with methods by which the COVID certificates will be able to be verified by the economic agents who must comply with them, a special STS application being offered for Android.

Raed Arafat says that the principle behind the application would be similar to one used even by an application used in France, so that the verification of a certificate does not involve viewing the personal data of the person presenting the QR code, STS only certifying that that code is real.

"There is an application that can be downloaded from the Internet and allows you to verify a person's certificate by phone without storing the person's data. This is the solution that several European countries are already using and it is one of the solutions that can support the limitation of the total closure of some economic activities. There will be no difference compared to the application of the French.

There was a discussion with colleagues from STS and they explained that the application is valid, it can be used. It seems to me that it is the same application that the French also use, because it is the same concept of the green certificate and the application can read any European green certificate, not only the Romanian one."
