Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, on Monday (1 March) confirmed the EU would publish a legislative framework for a "digital green pass" this month.


The pass would provide proof of vaccination, any necessary pre-travel test results for those yet to be vaccinated, and information relating to an individual’s recovery from Covid-19.
