EUROZONE IMMNITY PASSPORTS ARE NOW A THING
They call them Vaccine Passports . But They are issued to Fully Vaxxed People , To People with a negative test and to people who have recovered from Covid ( ie have had a positive test)
Called the EU digital COVID certificate, the credential indicates if a traveller has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, has received a recent negative test result, or has immunity due to recent recovery. It takes the form of a QR code which can be displayed on an electronic device such as a smartphone or printed out.
SO…who is banned from crossing Euro zone borders >?
Looks like ..Only those who have not been tested or have Proof of Vaxx.
If you have a positive test ( and don’t die) you are good for 180 days ( the arbitrary assumption is natural immunity is good for 6 months)
If you have a Negative test ( presumably a home lateral flow test ?) you are good for ? days ??
If you are Vaxxed twice and 14 days past..you are good for ? days ??
Fully’s Fearless Freedictions
1…There will be Mass Chaos at Eurozone Borders and Airports…so much so that this moronic idea will fail
2…EVERYONE who takes the Home test which seems like it is to be reported by the honor system will be Negative…
3…EVERYONE except those who actually report a positive test ( even if they are negative)
“Quarantine” for 14 days…Then you are free for 6 months at least !
4…Counterfeit Passes will be a dime a dozen
Morons
Just traveled from Rome to ATL on Sunday. It was pretty seamless. Yea, one has to present his stupid antigen test (cost $20 at the corner drug store) to plenty of people but it wasn’t too bad. Of course wearing a mask for a full day was ridiculous. But I had a blast!
Thanks Plunger
Please explain the antigen test process
Is the test done AT the Drug Store and recorded there or is it a test you take “home” and self administer ?
The test is available all over the city. Easy to find. Just walk in (best to make appointment) the girl does a swab and gives you the result in 10 min then gives you a one page piece of paper with a ink stamp on it. That’s it, it’s simply totally bogus. You could do all of this on your own computer as at the airport they just look at it. Mine was actually in Italian (Negativo) The airline page explaining what is required never said anything about it having to be in English (it used to a few months ago)
Once arriving in the US no one ever checks anything… it’s a walk through especially if you have Global Entry
What if it’s positive ?
Go to a different drug store ?
Exactly
Plunger, where is the swab inserted? Back of throat or naso-pharnyx?
PCR negative test results can be done online, I have been told. Pay the money and you get the barcode, on your cell phone, which says you are good to go. I expect the same will extend to vaccine passports.
