New Covid-19 vaccination certification app launches in Northern Ireland

The Department of Health has launched a new app to allow people in Northern Ireland to show proof of their Covid-19 vaccination. Cert Check NI will assist hospitality venues that wish to carry out voluntary checks of vaccination status before allowing admission. Use of the app could become more wide spread if the Executive implement contingency measures of Covid status certification in higher risk settings. SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood feels the new app is a step in the right direction.
