In an interview with Le Parisien, Cédric O, Secretary of State for Digital Transition and Electronic Communications, discusses these two tools which will be available from June 9.


After months of uncertainties, the health pass is in place.

Its implementation involves several stages.

As of May 29, Health Insurance will provide all people who have been vaccinated with their vaccination certificate.

This QR Code can be downloaded by connecting to the Internet address, Attestation-vaccin.fr or by calling your health insurance fund.

The choice of the QR Code aims to eradicate the use of false certificates.

The second stage begins June 9, with the entry into force of the health pass. Contrary to what happened last year, the TousAntiCovid application will play a central role in this new deconfinement. This app will be equipped with new functions which must accompany the second stage of deconfinement. In an interview with

Le

Parisien

published on Tuesday, Cédric O, the Secretary of State for Digital Transition and Electronic Communications, details the operation of these tools, digital or paper those who wish.

This health pass will be essential to have access to gatherings of more than 1000 people. This pass will include either the vaccination certificate, proof of a negative PCR or antigen test, or a certificate of recovery from Covid. The reminder book will also be making a comeback in restaurants and sports halls. But unlike what was set up last fall, the notebook in paper form will be added to enter a QR Code via the TousAntiCovid application. Customers will opt for paper - at the risk of leaving their contact details in plain sight - or digital. Of course, there is no such thing as zero risk in IT, but "from the point of view of the protection of privacy, it is the least intrusive solution" believes a personal data expert,before adding "it is much less intrusive than the information that can circulate on social networks!". Professionals will have access to a TousAntiCovid Verified application which will allow them to check the authenticity of the data provided.

The event organizers or places concerned by the health pass in France will not know this information

", specifies Cédric O. One way of respecting the privacy of the people concerned.

The suspected contact cases will receive an orange alert if a single person in a restaurant, for example, was positive for Covid and present at the same time as them.

On the other hand, if several cases are identified, the alert turns red and it will be necessary to confine oneself in order to limit the risks of a resumption of the epidemic.

Essential for traveling, the health pass may not be sufficient to travel and avoid quarantines.

Each country remains in control of its policy, including in Europe, where an agreement is still awaited.
