Polish Health Minister Adam Niedzielski said that Poland has become one of the EU countries to issue Covid-19 certificates for its citizens to use in the EU system from June 1.
After the end of the trial period, Poland has officially connected to the EU’s Covid-19 certificate confirmation system. The certificate is available in a special application or in paper form and has a QR code generated for each citizen. The information technology system will confirm that a person has been vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine or has a negative PCR test result or has recovered from Covid.

The official start of the Covid-19 certification system will take place on July 1. Fully vaccinated people with EU Covid-19 certificates will be exempt from travel-related restrictions such as testing or quarantine. The EU Covid-19 Digital Certificate was proposed by the European Commission in April to facilitate safe and free movement within the EU during the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, in addition to Poland, there are 6 other EU countries that have issued Covid-19 certificates. It is expected that all EU countries will introduce this solution on July 1 (with a transition period of 6 weeks).
