I have a question about the
bold part. The website indicates the certificate does include vaccination. Is this a separate certificate?
Use of the certificate to prevent closure of venues
The certificate is available to all and has already proved effective for discos and large-scale events. It makes it possible for events and activities to go ahead that would otherwise be too risky. The certificate documents that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, that they have had the disease and have recovered, or that they have recently tested negative. The use of the certificate significantly reduces the risk of transmission because people will only come into contact with others who are not infectious, or who only have a low risk of being infectious. It allows measures to be taken against the spread of the virus without having to resort to closing venues or banning certain activities. Furthermore, at events requiring a certificate, all other protective measures are lifted, i.e. requirement to wear a mask.
