New member states have joined the EU eHealth Trust Network, whose members mutually recognize digital COVID certificates. These include Lebanon, Montenegro, Taiwan, Uruguay, Tunisia and Thailand. This solution will allow the use of the digital COVID certificate obtained in Diia when crossing the border with these countries. This will apply to those who have been vaccinated against coronavirus disease or have recently recovered.
"Vaccinated citizens of Ukraine will be able to visit more countries without PCR tests and self-isolation in the countries of arrival if the epidemic situation allows," said Deputy Minister Maria Karchevych.
Today, the EU eHealth Trust Network includes 60 countries. Among those are not only the European countries closest to Ukraine, such as Poland, Austria, Latvia and other EU members. But also countries from other continents, including Singapore, New Zealand and the UAE. The full list of member countries can be found here.
In 2022, the digital network is planned to expand to 80 member countries.
