After the collapse of La Meva Salut, it is expected that the Government will specify from this Monday when the passport that certifies the vaccination comes into force
La Meva Salut, application of the Department of Health to carry out various health procedures, accumulated from last Monday until Saturday a total of 1,467,467 downloads de covid digital certificates. Of these, 460,762 were concentrated on Saturday. The Generalitat has already received the endorsement of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) to force restaurants, gyms and nursing homes to not allow access without this personal document, which proves they have been vaccinated against the covid.
On Friday, the Government announced that it was temporarily suspending the obligation to have a covid passport to enter bars, restaurants, gyms and residences for the elderly, and it is expected that from today it will clarify when it comes into force. He suspended it because the La Meva Salut system collapsed because of the avalanche of requests arrived from the first hour of that day. A collapse that made it very difficult, if not impossible, to get hold of the digital certificate. Some who succeeded had to spend three hours of waiting.
A new system
The current system to verify the QR code will change soon. Since the clubs claim that the vaccination is accredited to allow access, a provisional website has been used that is accessed from the mobile browser. According to RAC-1, Salut has already prepared the final application, which can be used in a few weeks.
The system change will affect those who must verify the code in the affected establishments, but not customers, for whom everything will remain the same. The new application is pending validation for Apple and Android so that it can be downloaded.
