Digital Green Certificate is not a universal pass

"The Digital Green Certificate is not a document that opens all doors," commented for BNR lawyer Maria Petrova, expert in medical law. It contains information on whether a person has been vaccinated against Covid-19, has had Covid-19 and the body has produced antibodies against the novel coronavirus.

 In Maria Petrova’s words, the purpose of the certificate is not to divide people into vaccinated and non-vaccinated, but to identify a uniform standard to prevent abuse and document fraud. "The European Commission already said that The Digital Green Certificate is of a recommendatory nature and that each country must decide what weight should be given to it," said Maria Petrova.
