From July 15, restaurant and F&B business owners can download an application that checks if the health / vaccination status information provided by customers is valid.

The Covid Pass application is free and available for smartphones and tablets. Since July 15, the government has allowed the operation of interiors such as restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theaters, clubs, bars and sports facilities. It is noted that this week after the rise of Covid-19 cases, restaurants, bars, cafes and entertainment venues serve only seated customers.

How the Covid Pass works

The application verifies whether a client has been vaccinated or recovered, has a rapid test result or a PCR test result.

The 3 levels of verification

Green – the certificate holder has been vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19
Yellow – the certificate holder has a negative test (rapid or PCR)
Red – invalid certificate

Validity of certificates:

Vaccination – 14 days from the date of the last vaccination dose
Recovery – up to 6 months after
Rapid test – 48 hours from sample collection (duration counts from 00.01 from the date of sample collection)
PCR test – 72 hours from sample collection (duration counts from 00.01 from the date of sample collection).
