Vaccine-based segregation has reached Europe. To fly to Corsica or the island of Reunion, French travelers must present proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Starting this week, they will be able to show airlines a digital and certified version of the documents, which will be integrated into the TousAntiCovid application. There is nothing to prevent travelers from continuing to present test results or a vaccination certificate on paper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But the new feature, called the “TousAntiCovid Carnet,” will be an alternative.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“The aim is to make life easier for the French,” said Secretary of State C\u00e9dric O. The government will thus be able to prepare for a safe reopening of borders for European citizens under the digital green certificate.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

By 17 June, each EU member state must have set up a system to authenticate vaccination certificates and Covid-19 test results.<\/span> The aim is to enable European citizens to move safely<\/em> within the Union again.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The mechanism, once established, can be used to travel to certain non-European countries through bilateral agreements negotiated by the European Commission.<\/span> “France is the first country (in the EU) to make this feature available to citizens,” said C\u00e9dric O.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The test will apply to certain flights operated by Air France and Air Corsica to Corsica, then to all French airlines.<\/span> For the time being, it only applies to people who have been vaccinated or tested in France.<\/span> As of Monday, all PCR and antigen test results, whether positive or negative, have been officially certified to prevent fraud.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, all organizations authorized to perform tests (laboratories, pharmacies, etc.) will send the data to the SI-DEP system administered by the Health Insurance, which will “sign” them to guarantee their authenticity.<\/span> The document provided to the patient will include a datamatrix – a kind of QR code – which will be scanned, through the TousAntiCovid Verif application, by the airline, the police or the customs officer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The traveler can present the document in printed format, but can also integrate it in the TousAntiCovid application.<\/span> To do this, you will need to scan a QR code present on the test result or use a link sent via lab SMS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vaccination certificates will be authenticated starting April 29.<\/span> The procedure will first refer to the newly vaccinated, who will receive a paper document from the vaccination center, doctor or pharmacist, and it can be<\/span> integrated into TousAntiCovid by scanning the QR code on the certificate.<\/span> People who received the two doses before April 29 will have to wait until the end of May to obtain an authenticated certificate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The certificate will be downloaded from the health insurance website, Ameli.fr.<\/span> The document can then be transferred to TousAntiCovid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Will the TousAntiCovid app be used to go to a restaurant or movie theater?<\/span> “The government is not considering any health permits for shops,” says C\u00e9dric O. However, there is a debate over whether such proof could be required to access crowded places, such as concerts, festivals.<\/span> or trade shows.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
