The technological solutions adopted during the current pandemic will have a lasting impact on our
societies. A variety of initiatives to develop and deploy Covid-19 health status certificates are
currently underway. However, it is not sufficient to develop technical solutions for the verification
of Covid-19 health status. Because technologies do not evolve in a legal vacuum, the existing laws

an actionable framework for decision-making, informing policymakers in this area of vital national
and international interest
