Israel, how the vaccine passport works – Corriere.it

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
JERUSALEM – Gyms, hotels, swimming pools, sporting and cultural public events. From today the Israelis can return to a kind of normalcy. Not all: only those who can show a certificate to prove that they received the second dose of the vaccine at least a week ago.

At first, the government thought of calling this immunization pass a green passport. It created confusion, it would have led people to believe that they could use it abroad, now called the Green Pass (green pass) and the Ministry of Health specifies that it is valid only for the Israeli jurisdiction.

For now: the premier Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to come to an agreement with Greece and Cyprus for open borders to vaccinated people in the spring.

The procedure for obtaining the green card (lasts six months) simple, bauction enter your identity card number on the site set up specifically: collapsed in the early hours, too many requests, the Israelis that have already been inoculated twice are almost 4 and a half million.

To move freely – always with a mask – they can now use the vaccination certificate: the identification barcode must be presented at the entrance through an app or printed. Those who have been infected and are no longer sick are also admitted to the premises.

The others – in fact those who refuse to get vaccinated and those under 16 who are not included in the campaign and have never caught Covid-19 – can now attend shops, supermarkets, museums, libraries.

The government has decided not to punish no-vaxes, but the teachers who do not accept are abandoning their students, commented Yuli Edelstein, the minister of health. Criminal risks, on the other hand, for traffickers of false green certificates, a market already widespread via Telegram.

The country does not reopen completely: international flights remain blocked at least until March 6 and elementary and older children return to school in the last two years of high school. Middle school kids still at home amid parental protests: Why the gyms if the classes don’t ?.
