European Union governments will seek to hammer out an agreement Wednesday on technical specifications for so-called coronavirus passports aimed at salvaging the region’s summer tourist season.
The “Digital Green Certificates” will offer proof that holders have had a Covid-19 jab or recently returned a negative test, while people who contract the disease should be recognized as immune from day 11 for about six months, according to a draft of the rules due to be discussed at a meeting in Brussels.
