Sweden plans to launch a digital vaccine passport for coronavirus by summer, provided that an international standard is in place for this document by then, Reuters reported quoting the government.

Governments and developers are exploring how such certifications can help rebuild economies by identifying those who are protected from COVID-19.

According to the Swedish Minister of Digitalization Anders Ygeman, when Sweden and the countries around them begin to open up societies again, vaccination certificates are likely to be required for travel and possibly other activities.
